Maths For Life - Book 1

2nd Edition

This book covers the first two stages of the Maths For Life programme - the Foundations and Level 1.

The Foundations stage starts at the beginning with Topic 0 - the prenumber skills. These are the skills that can be started at home, long before formal education begins. The earlier mathematical vocabulary and numbers are heard the more ‘friendly’ they will be and, just like phonics, will form part of an early development and intervention programme.

Each stage of the programme covers the same mathematical topics 1. Using Numbers and The Number System; 2. Using Common Measures, Shape and Space; and 3. Handling Information and Data. This ensures that the programme delivers the breadth of understanding across all topics that are needed to deliver the essential maths for life.

Level 1 follows on seamlessly from the Foundations stage and builds on the scope and complexity of the topic in an incremental and logical way. The book includes a Record of Progress for each stage and a set of sample questions for Level 1 content.

All content in this book sits within the current maths national curriculum of the Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1.

It is a 196 page spiral bound ‘text’ book, easy to use, photocopy and contains pages to add your own notes.
