Cambridge Mathematics Direct provides everything needed to plan, teach and assess primary mathematics, in line with the recommendations of the National Numeracy Strategy. The National Numeracy Strategy and Early Learning Goals state clearly that for much of the Reception year a 45 minute daily maths lesson may be inappropriate. However, pupils do still need to be exposed to oral/mental activities, direct teaching, pupil activities in groups, pairs or as individuals and a plenary. In CMD we have addressed these issues, and also tried to ensure that differentiation and progression take place. The Summer Activity Sheets provide ideas to support and reinforce the learning objectives of the lesson plans given in the Reception Summer Teacher's Handbook. — All activities linked to lesson plans — Provides structured activities for practice of mathematical concepts — Provides for differentiation
