The Maths and Me Approach
Designed to make the implementation of the new Primary Maths Curriculum a practical, straight-forward, and supported journey for teachers and pupils, Maths and Me gives special consideration to supporting the five key pedagogical practices recommended, breaking down the new curriculum into lesson plans that are manageable, well structured, engaging, and child-friendly.
- Each unit is subdivided into lessons with detailed lesson plans provided in the Teacher’s Planning Book
- Each unit ends with a ‘Review and Reflect’ lesson which features a useful menu of potential activities that teachers can choose from to support the needs of their class
✔️ Constructivist
✔️ Collaborative
✔️ Integrative
✔️ Reflective
✔️ Inquiry-Based Learning
Maths and Me creates a positivity towards maths, and helps to build pupils’ confidence and develop their mathematical skills. The programme for each class is divided into units that focus on an area of learning.
