Oral and Mental Maths Activities combines the development of mathematical discussion, mental calculation skills and understanding of concepts in a resource which provides maximum ease of lesson organisation for teachers. Features include:* precise mathematical explanations at both pupils' and teacher's levels;* a structured questioning layout to develop concepts sequentially and lead pupils to a logical answer;* strong support for the development of listening skills;* simple assessment of pupil understanding;* facility for the teacher to supply further information as required;* an ideal basis for further mathematical discussion;* emphasis on pupil understanding rather than rote 'correct' answers; and* answers and explanations are provided for quick and easy reference.The structured and easy-to-organise concept behind the series could not be simpler. Pupils are given a 'working' sheet, containing key information they will need to record their responses. Teachers read from an instruction/background sheet which contains precise instructions, sets the problems and outlines the tasks. Pupils respond to these instructions by completing the appropriate section on their worksheet.
