Lines of Development in Primary Maths

by Mary Deboys, Queen's University of Belfast, Eunice Pitt

One of the most useful teaching resources available for teachers of primary mathematics. It covers the whole mathematical curriculum for primary-age children – the book is divided into sections by age (5–7 years, 7–9 years, 9–11+ years); in each section the development of topics follows a similar pattern and is set out in a framework at the beginning so that the full range of ideas is clearly presented.The topics covered sets, number, pictorial representation, shape (2D and 3D), volume/capacity, area, length, weight, time and money. It’s an invaluable aid to any primary school teacher in planning classes and gives a helpful outline of the progression of skills that children can be expected to follow.
