Published on a CD-ROM disc licensed to your school These worksheets over the 4 rules of computation at different levels. This is a set of 84 copy masters, including record sheets, and instructions.
They can be used as a structured scheme or to address specific needs of individuals.
The Objective of the numeracy probes is to commit number bonds and multiplication facts to long term memory so that they can be recalled instantly facts rather than calculating and recalculating them each time; increasing accuracy and speed.
Each sheet has 5 columns of 40 equations, labelled from "Monday" to "Friday".
Children within the class can be working on different sheets at the same time.
At the heart of the scheme is the simple code system for the probes and the record sheets which allow recording of self-marked results and target setting.
Numeracy Probes are a great warm up exercise; but should be used daily.
Each of the five levels has 9 format options, where the answer is placed after the equals sign, after the equals sign, and mixed together.
Each level contains sheets for two operations seperately and mixed. Below are samples taken from the highest level Addition & Subtraction probes which illustrate he 9 variants. The CD-ROM is offered at £12·50 including postage and packing That compares very reasonably against the cost of a spiral bound, paper-based photocopy master book!
