Look at Me! I Love Maths!

This Look at Me! Maths workbook is the culmination of an 11-year project to write a series of books which will be fun-filled, cover the syllabus requirements, be easy to use and produce results. The use of engaging graphics, practical lessons and easily attempted activities makes this an exciting workbook for all Grade 1 level students.

This workbook offers a variety of 'hands on' procedural learning experiences that promote numeracy and literacy skills that can be used with children from diverse multicultural, intellectual and socio-economic backgrounds. Teachers who have trialled this series have found them to be an exciting, challenging and rewarding resource for assisting students to reason, think and work mathematically.

The series has been developed to engage and motivate students so that they will think more deeply, investigate, explain and understand strategies. The workbook has been designed to develop independent and motivated learners.
