Key features: Clear presentation of key mathematical concepts Solved examples of all concepts Plenty of practice exercises Review pages at the end of each section and also the book Colourful illustrations Worksheets to test the child's grasp of concepts Maths lab activities to help build concepts through different activities The Teaching Guides (Primer A and B, and Classes 1 to 5), accompanying the New Countdown series (Second Edition), aim to inspire teachers to present mathematical concepts to children imaginatively, using playway techniques. They are designed to augment a teacher's own efforts in creating a 'learning environment' in the classroom rather than a 'teaching' one.
