My Pals Are Here! Maths is a comprehensive, activity-based Primary Mathematics program specially designed for pupils in the new millennium.
The series adopts the concrete to abstract approach in the presentation of mathematical concepts, skills and problem-solving strategies. When pupils are familiar with the ideas taught, they can progress to a more advanced or abstract stage without the use of manipulatives. Research has shown that this approach helps pupils to construct mathematical knowledge and to reflect on what the teacher has taught.
Each topic in My Pals Are Here! Maths is organized as follows:
Warm Up! Concepts, skills or problem-solving strategies are introduced. Questions assess pupils' understanding informally. Let's Work Together! Activities and games involve group participation so that cooperative learning can take place. Individual Work Questions in Practice Book reinforce learning. Try IT! Activities encourage the use of computers. Put On Your Thinking Caps! Unusual problems challenge pupils to use thinking skills.
