Cambridge Mathematics Direct 1 Interactive Pictures User Guide

Cambridge Mathematics Direct is a structured set of mathematics resources for primary schools.

It provides everything needed for planning, teaching and assessing the daily maths lesson in a simple and manageable way.

The CMD 1 Interactive Picture User Guide provides activities relating to each of the 16 Year 1 Interactive Pictures, covering all mathematical strands.

The activities for each picture focus on oral/mental work and/or whole class direct teaching.

Suggestions are also given for using the pictures in other parts of the daily maths lesson, and for using the pictures in interactive mathematical displays.

The pictures can be used for many different purposes; to introduce new maths topics; to encourage and develop mathematical language and thinking; to make links between new learning and what is already known; and to develop secure understanding of maths concepts.
