First Published in 2000. Following the successful programme to support schools in raising standards of literacy, this book aims to publish the work of another project to working with schools to implement the National Numeracy Strategy for pupils attaining below level 1 of the National Curriculum. Many pupils will work on the same learning objectives for many years and the scheme of work included in this book tries to show how similar learning objectives can be taught in an age appropriate way. In addition is clear guidance about precisely what needs to be learnt in order to achieve the key reception objectives identified in the National Numeracy Strategy. These key objectives currently contain too many different elements to enable teachers to break down clearly the small steps of learning that need to take place. Related to these component parts of the learning objectives are a wide range of activities and resources to help teachers choose activities which will be motivating and enjoyable for pupils and encourage them to learn more quickly. The activities have been carefully chosen to clearly match the learning objectives identified.
