"Curriculum Bank" is a practical activity-based series which can be used as a planning tool to help devise a comprehensive scheme of work, and as an accessible bank of ideas. The lesson plans target specific learning objectives and collectively provide a progressive coverage of the programmes of study. Photocopiable worksheets support many of the activities and save valuable teacher time. Guidance for differentiation and formative assessment is incorporated throughout, with specific assessment lessons for summative purposes also included. IT applications and other cross-curricular links are highlighted, as are ideas for display. The activities in this book focus on a range of skills and concepts needed in the development of number. They provide practical contexts in which children are able to apply their understanding of mathematical concepts and support teachers in translating the demands of the programmes of study into classroom situations which promote, challenge and extend their children's numerical competence.
