iMaths is an easy to plan, flexible teaching program that comprehensively addresses both aspects of the Essential Learnings - Knowledge and understanding and Ways of working. The engaging iMaths investigations ask students to plan, question, apply their understanding, use technologies and reflect within real-life mathematical contexts. The core principles of iMaths reflect the core principles of the National Curriculum.
Why use iMaths?
Comprehensively covers the Essential Learnings and provides a bridge to the National Curriculum
iMaths addresses both dimensions of the Essential Learnings - Knowledge and understanding - developed through iMaths Topics and Ways of working - applied and practised through iMaths Investigations. The core principles of iMaths reflect the core principles of the National Curriculum. The National Curriculum focuses on meaningful, engaging maths with real-life application, numeracy; the ability to apply knowledge, as well as effective use of technologies.
Rewarding, meaningful investigations
Investigation based learning builds the framework for students to be able to make the mental leaps necessary for absorbing the maths curriculum. iMaths Investigations are rigorously tested, teacher-driven and give students the opportunity to tackle unfamiliar problems and devise their own creative solutions.
Easy to assess
iMaths Tracker Books provide an assessment item for each Topic in the Student Book. This presents a clear picture of student Knowledge and understanding - perfect for parent-teacher interviews.
Easy to plan
Use the iMaths iPlanner to construct a flexible, teacher-driven teaching plan that suits the interests and abilities of your class. Electronically map your teaching year to ensure all Essential Learnings are covered using a simple drag and drop feature
More about the series:
The iMaths program utilises the benefits of an investigation based approach to bring the Essential Learnings into the classroom in a practical, meaningful way. Use the Topic section (or Knowledge and understanding) to build student's confidence before tackling the real-world problems posed by the investigations.
Investigation based learning builds the framework for students to be able to make the mental leaps necessary for absorbing the maths curriculum.
iMaths advocates a goal-oriented approach to classroom learning -students gain the satisfaction of seeing their hard work on the theoretical exercises translate into the practical experiences provided by the investigations (or Ways of working).
iMaths Topic pages provide a point of entry for students into large, complex mathematical concepts, breaking them into bite-sized chunks.
iMaths Topic pages supply the essential foundation in basic mathematical skills, from which students can build understanding of more complex concepts.
Linked with iMaths Investigations, students are rewarded for gaining the understanding of mathematical concepts by being able to undertake challenging and exciting projects. Investigations give students the opportunity to tackle unfamiliar problems and devise their own creative solutions.
iMaths is structured to gives teachers the flexibility to implement their maths program safe in the knowledge that all the elements of the Essential Learnings have been met.
