Pacemaker: It’s About Time covers a broad range of interesting concepts within the topic of “time”. Activities enable students to apply problem solving strategies as they explore the instruments and methods used to measure time throughout history and investigate global applications such as time zones. Students can make a range of time-keeping tools with detailed instructions and use their creative skills to design ideas for the future.

• Think, estimate and check
• Draw a diagram
• Look for patterns
• Make a model
• Act out the problem
• Construct a table
• Write a statement
• Make a list
• Calculate

The tasks cover all areas of the mathematics curriculum including Space and Location, Number, Measurement and Chance and Data. Mathematical reasoning and the development of individual problem solving skills have been incorporated within each of these areas. All task cards are outcome linked and have provision for student self-assessment.

The concepts of measuring and sequencing time are also explored in detail. Each activity page contains a “Think About It” box as a finishing challenge that promotes the use of varied strategies and cooperative learning, catering for a range of student abilities. Activities are linked to relevant student outcome statements, while useful extension ideas and a skills checklist have been included.

• Knowledge and understanding of relevant mathematical concepts;
• Adaptation of these concepts to more difficult situations through word problems;
• Mini tasks involving the solving of word problems incorporating multiple steps;
• Open-ended tasks presented on a variety of levels and covering a range of student outcomes.

The book will prove to be of enormous value to teachers, and students will be challenged and stimulated by the activities.

Created for classroom teachers, the focus of the Fuss-free maths series is on the reinforcement of “the basics” in maths, as well as activities aimed at developing understanding of mathematics concepts. Students with specific learning difficulties experience a range of problems with their academic learning. These problems include word recognition and comprehension; coping with pages that are too cluttered and with too many differing requirements; being able to sequence, recall and apply strategies in abstract situations; striving to process information while working to meet deadlines and having trouble with personal organisation with their schoolwork.

While the books in this series are designed for students with learning difficulties, they can be used as a simple and straightforward introduction to concepts or a reinforcement of mathematical strategies for the whole class. The books follow a basic format, with each activity usually containing a choice of two worksheets to cater for a range of ability levels. Activities in the series are linked to National Mathematics Curriculum outcomes.

Each book contains:

• Information on Specific Learning Difficulties: Information from a variety of referenced sources including online literature from recognised Australian organisations. Includes descriptions of the various learning difficulties and ideas for strategies in the classroom and at home;
• Student Lifesavers: Clearly presented charts designed as a “basic facts” reference for students who are working though more difficult maths concepts;
• “Parent Power” Pages: Informative pages for parents on each mathematical unit. These pages include terminology, mathematical strategies, examples and reinforcement ideas for the home and community;
• Progress Charts: Students can keep an ongoing record of their homework achievements.
