Mental Maths Homework for 9 Year-olds

The education White Paper "Excellence in Schools" states that by 2002 there will be national homework guidelines.

This new series will be a valuable add-on to "Developing Mental Maths" should teachers want a complete scheme for mental maths, but should also stand alone as a homework package in its own right.

These are "shared homework" activities to be taken home and supported by a parent or carer.

Each page concentrates on one strategy, offering an investigation or game, together with a letter to the parent or carer explaining the maths and how best to help the child in his/her strategy development.
