The supply of quality photo-copiable support materials written specifically for 5-14 maths

‘Level’ packs

Each pack consists of 75 photo-copiable pages designed to support key features of the level and with an emphasis on numeracy. Each page focuses on a particular skill and is clearly presented, with the reading requirements kept in line with the maths levels. This series gets excellent feedback from teachers, particularly those working with dyslexic pupils.

‘Get Ready’ to pass the next National Assessment

Each pack consists of 10 practice tests designed for pupils who’ve covered most of the maths at the respective level. The practice tests help to build confidence and identify gaps that pupils may still have at that level. Raising the quality of the level enhances the potential for good continuity and progression throughout subsequent levels. Each practice test consists of 25 questions, with 10 being for mental agility.

Resources for the Curriculum for Excellence

The Wee Red Box is available for levels 1,2 and 3. Each consisting of 396 plastic mental agility flashcards that are designed to enhance fluency in mental agility.
Being mentally fluent = better at numeracy = better at maths.

In-service support on aspects of 5-14 maths eg interactive teaching, improve mental agility delivery and progressions, problem solving and enquiry skills, or, the pace of learning at any particular stage.

Tom Renwick also offers a unique and cost effective type of in-service —
he will visit your school for a day to actually work with your teacher and pupils in their classroom, directly sharing some interactive mental agility techniques — there are of course no supply cover costs and the pupils also benefit from the support. This support gets very good feedback from Headteachers and staff, and there is a opportunity at the end of the day to have a discussion with staff.
