Reviews

  • Probably the best publication on fractions I've ever read. Everything you need to plan EY-Y6 is here. Ways to use manipulatives I'd never considered. Thank you to all the talented writers involved! - Jean Knapp, Lead Teacher and Maths Consultant
  • [This book is] a triumph of experience, expertise and pedagogy. If you teach Fractions, Decimals, Percent, Place Value at any age, buy this book. - Bernie Westacott, retired Maths teacher and Head of Maths, independent consultant
  • The practical ideas allow for a level playing field... as children can collaborate on learning with differing ability which is at the forfront of a mastery curriculum. I also love the progression of the skills as the book continues through. - Rory Gratwohl, Deputy Headteacher
