Full Description

This comprehensive workbook takes students on a carefully sequenced journey through addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division using the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) mastery approach. Each of the 25 objectives builds on the last, moving students from visual, hands-on representations through to confident abstract calculation within the 2-digit number range. Rather than rushing to written procedures, every unit develops genuine understanding so that when students do use formal methods, they can explain their thinking at every step.
This 482-page workbook covers all four calculation operations across 25 carefully sequenced objectives, giving you a complete calculation programme in a single resource. Ten friendly cartoon robot guides appear throughout, modelling each task and keeping the tone curious and encouraging.
• Addition builds from understanding tens and ones through to adding two 2-digit numbers with carrying and adding three 1-digit numbers.
• Subtraction develops from finding the difference through to borrowing across two 2-digit numbers.
• Multiplication moves from repeated addition and arrays through to the commutative law and times table fluency in the 2, 5 and 10 times tables.
• Division takes students from equal sharing and grouping through to using times table facts, including the 7, 9 and 11 times tables, to divide.
Visual supports throughout, including base ten blocks, place value grids, arrow cards, number lines, cherry diagrams, an abacus, ten frames, hundred squares, arrays, bar models, and fact family triangles, make the maths visible at every stage. Everything is ready to print and use immediately; no cutting, laminating, or preparation of any kind is required.
