"Improving Mathematics in the Early Years and Key Stage 1" reviews the best available evidence to offer five recommendations for developing the maths skills of 3-7-year olds. Recommendations include integrating maths into different activities throughout the day -- for example, at registration and snack time -- to familiarise children…

This manual was designed for use by teachers using the School Mathematics Study Group's (SMSG) special text series for low achievers in grades 7 and 8; it covers chapters 10 through 18 of that series. The manual begins with introductory material describing characteristics of low-achieving students and suggested instructional approaches. Testing…

Represented are notes that have been compiled from meetings between teachers and members of the SMSG staff, discussing kinds of pre-school activities that might be appropriate for the development of various mathematical concepts. The sequence of concepts presented are in the same order as they are developed in the SMSG kindergarten program. Some…
