Teachers' Handbook (Level 3B) (STEPS mathematics)

Devised after extensive consultation with primary teachers, "STEPS" is a complete maths scheme offering a pathway through the programmes of study for Key Stages 1 and 2. Among the features incorporated are activity-led learning; built-in assessment; a flexible approach to suit individual teachers; a wide choice of activities for all ability levels; cross-curricular links; attractive, highly visual pupil materials; help with forecasting and planning; a choice of record-keeping procedures; and ideas for home-school links. "STEPS" is structured and keyed to the new Attainment Targets and Statements of Attainment of the National Curriculum. The series will be kept up-to-date with any National Curriculum changes by means of free updates. The full-colour Teacher's Handbooks are at the heart of "STEPS", providing a comprehensive desk-top guide for planning, implementing and assessing primary mathematics. They allow flexibility and choice for teachers and children. The handbooks are designed to be easy to use, employing colour-coding, clear and consistent layout and cross-referencing to the pupils' materials. This is the handbook for Level 3b of the series, designed to cover Key Stages 1 and 2.
