Targeting Maths Big Books: Sweet Dreams

Description

A book about Counting Quantities to Ten

The Targeting Mathematics series uses the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) approach to mathematics teaching and learning.

This allows teachers to introduce mathematical concepts to suit a range of cognitive levels. Concrete materials introduce young learners to mathematical concepts through real-world experiences. This enhances pupils’ understanding and helps to build confidence in mathematics. Pictorial examples use illustrations and photographs to help pupils visualise core concepts and assist during problem solving.

Abstract examples provide pupils with the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the use of mathematical symbols and relate the use of these symbols with the concrete and pictorials examples previously learnt.
