NHM = (New Heinemann Maths) workbooks
Remember the following schedule is only a guide to help you work with your child. However, please complete activities in the order of each week, to aid understanding and progression in learning. Once again the NHM checklist book can be used for fast workers or extension activities.
It is much more important that children understand number processes than complete a lot of written work. This is gained through practical activities (suggested pupil tasks), and using concrete resources.
