Homework without tears If you are keen to help your child develop their mental maths skills, you will certainly find *A-MINUTE-A-DAY MATHS helpful. A-MINUTE-A-DAY MATHS US] is not a scheme of work. It is a method of supporting/ fine-tuning the maths work already being undertaken at school. It provides useful evidence that a child really has achieved fluency in a particular skill. It is a no-nonsense way to harness the co-operation of parents and the enthusiasm of the child.The teacher/classroom assistant needs only A-MINUTE-A-DAY to monitor progress, thus preserving valuable teaching time. The book contains 42 photocopiable precision-teaching games, covering an extensive range of mental maths skills.Every game follows the same procedure and requires the child to give 30 correct verbal responses within 1 minute. No writing skills are needed. *A-MINUTE-A-DAY MATHS and its partner A-MINUTE-A-DAY PHONICS have been used extensively throughout the UK since 1999, in both Mainstream and Special Needs schools.
