| Publisher Description: Statistics would have us believe that mathematical levels have been dropping over the last 20 years. Parents and Grandparents are desperate to help their children to progress more easily and to become more confident in theit mathematical abilities. The author of this book, Elaine Heckingbottom, has been a teacher for over 25 years. During this time, she has accumulated a massive file of games and activities that can be used by children from 3 to 11 and beyond in order to develop their skills, abilities and confidence in maths. These have now been combined into a useful book; aimed at those very parents and grandparents who are desperate to help their children to improve their skills in maths. This useful book contains many ideas for games and activities to play with your child which will help to develop their confidence and speed in a range of mathematical concepts. From speeding up their number bonds and multiplication tables to recognising shapes, activities and games are included to appeal to children from 3 to 11. There are ideas for games using minimal equipment - such as a couple of dice or a pack of playing cards - and very little preparation. There are ideas requiring a little more equipment. There are ideas for activities and games to play in the car; whilst out walking or shoipping and whilst in the car ... avoiding the dreaded question of 'Are we nearly there yet?' The final section of the book contains a range of carefully differentiated activities and games for each year group. Carefully grouped to fit each UK school group (matched with ages), these activities and games progress from activities aimed at three year olds to those aimed at 11 year olds. they have all been tried and tested over the last 25 years ... and many are very popular |
