Maths Rescue 2: Measurement, Chance and Data

Tim Lowson — Tue, 11 Sep 2018 02:30:32 +0000

Created for classroom teachers, the focus of the Maths Rescue 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.

Maths Rescue 2: Measurement, Chance and Data 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.

Writer’s Workshop

Tim Lowson — Mon, 03 Sep 2018 05:30:47 +0000

Writer’s Workshop is a comprehensive step-by-step guide for primary school teachers to set up and implement an innovative and effective writing program in the classroom.

The book diffes from traditional writing models as it sees writing as a cyclical rather than a linear process, giving students the autonomy to choose where they want to start and continue in the writing process. In doing so, students will find authentic reasons to write, grow in confidence, and, of equal importance, begin to enjoy their writing.
The framework that is followed in this approach involves five steps entitled: Mini-Lessons, Checking The Status, Hot Penning, Writing Time, and Reflection and Sharing. Writer’s Workshop sessions must be predictable to be successful.

Following this format will help facilitators of the program build confidence in their students and reduce failure caused by self-doubt that we hear through comments such as, “I don’t know what to write about”, “My writing is not good enough”, “I have no real reason to write”.

This book, Working On Number And Algebra, provides a range of activities to help students develop their mental skills and abilities when calculating with directed numbers, fractions, decimals and percentages. The aim is to show students that mathematics is flexible and that there are many ways to approach the same calculation.

There is also an emphasis on using equations to solve real life problems as well as focus on exposing students to the concept that algebra is used to simplify our understanding of the world. Each section is proceeded by extensive teacher notes and guidance on how to teach a new strategy. This book can assist with teachers’ lesson development and also help spark creativity in the Mathematics classroom.
