New Wave Mental Maths 1 New edition

New Wave Mental Maths is a series of seven pupil resources written to provide a comprehensive and structured daily mental maths program for classes from Senior Infants to 6th Class. With a fresh look and added features, the series has been updated to cover all mental maths-related strands and strand units of the Irish Primary Mathematics Curriculum.

New Wave Mental Maths is designed to:

• encourage and develop mental calculation concepts and skills;
• constantly revise the different strands and strand units;
• develop and reinforce problem-solving strategies;
• develop and maintain speed of recall; and
• introduce, practise, and consolidate mathematical vocabulary and language.

  The 1st Class book introduces the column format with two columns per page to simulate assessment-style formatting without overwhelm.

  Graphics appear frequently throughout the columns, both engaging the pupil’s attention and aiding conceptual understanding of topics through comparisons of weight, volume, quantities, height, and more.

  The ‘Monday Focus’ provides hints and examples to ease pupils into new concepts or strategies. This is followed through with the ‘Weekly Focus’, which explores a singular concept in the first question of the Monday to Thursday columns of that week, providing a deep and comprehensive learning experience.
