Reviews

"The Belair books are well-known to teachers for accessible and attractive ideas and this book on mathematics is no exception. This teachers’ guide uses the objectives from the revised primary mathematics framework objectives as a starting point. The focus of learning for each activity is clearly displayed and photographs illustrate how the display should look when completed. This is a book for teachers to ‘dip into’ for ideas when they want to create new and purposeful attractive displays."

“…Like [Creativity in Literacy], the aim is to make the work as cross curricular as possible to help embed the maths concepts in different contexts. I can see the boys in KS2 being inspired by the ‘Football Crazy’ section, where the focus of learning is calculating the area and perimeter of regular and irregular shapes.”
