Maths Direct (1) – Pupil Book A: Bk. A - Tapa blanda

Each lesson addresses a clearly identified objective... This helps teachers identify and address common errors.
The teacher’s packs give clear and concise guidance on organising the lesson. This careful support may be particularly valuable where lessons are to be taught by non-specialist teachers.
The pupil’s books are colourful and use appropriate contexts... pupils are encouraged to reflect on what they have done. Used carefully by the teacher, this will help pupil’s recognise what they have achieved. These books should be a valuable resource for a department seeking to improve provision for low attainers at key stage 3. TES
