The Activities

Everyone who buys the Easiteach Maths Content Pack is sent a set of ready-made whole-class teaching Activities that meet your planned Maths objectives.

These Activities can save you time when planning lessons. Each downloadable Activity comes with comprehensive teaching notes.

The Activities are provided by RM, Heinemann, Ginn and Rigby and are linked to leading maths schemes such as Abacus, New Heinemann Maths and Numeracy Focus.

You can access the website and download Activities at school, and also at home, with a Teacher Use licence. The teaching Activities are designed to be flexible - reflecting best-practice and ready-to-use - but you can also adapt them to meet specific lesson needs.

What Does an Activity Consist of?

Each Easiteach Activity has:

• A set of teaching screens.
• A printable page of accompanying teaching notes (these are found on the last page of the Easibook).

Content Pack Index Page

The Easiteach Maths Content Pack is accessed through an Index page. There are separate index pages for the National Numeracy Framework or Scottish 5-14 Guidelines. Once you access the index page you can find Mental Starter and Main Activity files based on age range and mathematical topics.

What do the Teaching Notes Contain?

The teaching notes for each Activity contain detailed information to help you teach the objective in the most effective way, including:

• Full referencing to the National Numeracy Framework or Scottish 5-14 Guidelines for Maths, plus Maths scheme referencing where chosen.
• Educational information to guide you through teaching the Activity.
• Advice on effectively questioning your pupils throughout the Activity.
• Key vocabulary section.
• Ideas on how to extend the Activity.
• Tips on getting the best out of the plenary session.
