Cracking Maths 4th Class Teacher's Handbook

Cracking Maths adheres to the content of the revised Primary School Maths Curriculum. The programme promotes real understanding of maths and key maths skills, especially in areas such as problem-solving.

This Teacher’s Handbook is an invaluable and essential tool for working effectively with the Cracking Maths 4th Class Pupil’s Book. It includes:

• Detailed planning support through the suggested fortnightly plans
• Notes and photocopiable resources to support teaching and to guide learning
• Three term assessments for teachers who want the option of more formal assessment
• Useful additional photocopiable templates
• Differentiation support through two photocopy masters for each unit — one for practice and one for enrichment
• Answers to all questions in the Pupil’s Book and Enrichment Book

Teacher’s Notes and Support Sheets for the investigations in the Enrichment Book are available to adopting schools on www.gillexplore.ie.
