	Pearson Mathematics 4b : Stage 7 Pearson $30.99 EXPECTED JULY 2010 Level 4: Pearson Primary Maths Books 4a, 4b THE ONLY MATHS RESOURCE INCORPORATING ALL STRANDS OF THE NEW NZ CURRICULUM This book is the first of two books for students working at Level 4 of the Mathematics and Statistics Curriculum. Mathematics is all about solving problems and not about doing pages of sums, so this book provides plenty of opportunity for students to put their mathematical knowledge to work in real contexts across all the strands. The series emphasises real situations for using and applying mathematics. Two major features of these books are the mini projects and the challenges. Mini projects: These are open-ended mathematical applications. Teachers need to be able to stand back and behave as facilitators rather than controllers. Children need to be allowed to make mistakes; trial and error is a recognised problem-solving strategy. Likewise the ability to communicate in mathematics is important and the mini projects allow for a variety of ways of communicating. They allow the children to apply their mathematical vocabulary, signs and symbols.Challenges: These are an added motivation for generally, but by no means exclusively, the more able students. Teachers Guide: The Teachers Guides are the centre of this series. They provide a framework and developmental structure to the teaching of mathematics. Each unit specifies particular Achievement Outcomes taken from the Mathematics and Statistics Curriculum. Each chapter has specific learning outcomes. They provide the teacher with some guidance on how to go about teaching specific objectives. The Guides may give suggestions on how to introduce a concept or provide ideas on how to extend or give further practice. A copy of each pupil’s page is included in the Teachers Guide as an aid to planning specific activities.
