New Wave Mental Maths 2 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 2nd Class book continues the two-column format introduced in the 1st Class book. Using this familiar layout eases pupils into the new mathematical concepts introduced in this book, which include place value of three-digit numbers, rounding, and more complex addition and subtraction strategies. Telling time questions develop in difficulty, introducing quarter-past and quarter-to times.
