‘Maths, a series to support the
development of primary mathematical
‘skills,
‘The grid on poge 2 shows which
concepts ore tested in this book.
‘The 40 exercises provide a fun and
instant way of testing understanding
of these concepts on a weekly basis.
“The questions ore presented in a
voriety of simple styles to make them
‘accessible and engoging, even to more
reluctant learners.
“The exercises become progressively
more challenging, supporting steady
advancement.
Eoch exercise contains an element of
revision, providing some questions of o
simitor level to the previous exercises,
‘Children may need some help with
the early exercises in order to got
used to the format, but the consistent
presentation and use of language
should soon become familiar to them
Solutions to all the questions in this
book can be found on pages 45~H8.
They are presented in o format
that matches the answer strips on
the exercise pages, enabling easy
checking, There is one mark available
for each question,
Recording progress
At the end of each exercise is a space
for recording the number of correct,
solutions.
