- NumberSense Mathematics Programme Workbooks
- NumberSense Workbooks by Grade
Use the NumberSense Workbook Grade Level Guide to determine the ideal workbook for a child based on their grade and the time of the year. The workbooks are developmental in nature. Each workbook builds on the concepts and skills developed in the previous workbook. To gain as much as possible from the workbook series, children should work through the materials in the sequence that they appear in the workbook.
In Grades 1-6, each workbook addresses more than one mathematics learning area and is organised by section. The pages in each section should be completed in sequence. However, the entire workbook is not completed in sequence. It is expected that the teacher will switch between sections throughout the term to both add variety and also to make sure that each of the learning areas in each workbook are addressed throughout the term. For example, the teacher may decide to let the class do Number, Operations and Relationships and Pattern pages on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and then two pages of Measurement on Thursday and Friday. Teachers need to plan carefully because, on some occasions, activities in, for example, the Measurement sections may be spread over several pages and these pages should be completed as a single unit.
NumberSense Workbook Grade Level Guide
Grade R- Two 48-page NumberSense workbooks per year.
- Grade R teachers will have to mediate the activities in the workbooks with the children.
Grade 1-3 NumberSense Mathematics Programme WorkbooksFull curriculum coverage across the four 64 page workbooks per grade.
Grades 1-3Specific features of the Foundation Phase workbooks include:
- A blue rectangle with two icons at the top of many of the Geometry, Measurement, and Data Handling pages. This rectangle suggests an activity that the teacher should complete with the children as part of the teacher-led activity at the start of each lesson. This activity should be completed before the children work independently (alone, in pairs or small groups) to complete the remaining tasks on the page. The rectangle also indicates the resources needed for the activity.
- A natural alignment of the workbooks with the school terms (one workbook per term):
- Grade 1: Workbooks 1, 2, 3 and 4
- Grade 2: Workbooks 5, 6, 7 and 8
- Grade 3: Workbooks 9, 10, 11 and 12
Grade 4-6 NumberSense Mathematics Programme WorkbooksFull curriculum coverage across the four 64 page workbooks per grade.
