Teacher’s Guide 1 supports practical lessons using SchoolStore’s physical Number Board. Use the explanations, teaching ideas and games to plan opportunities for children to build, discuss and compare mathematical representations.
What you get
- Book 1 covers counting and numeration, comparing and ordering, place value, addition, subtraction and patterns.
- Original guide by Carmel Burns. This printed guide predates the Primary Mathematics Curriculum (2023).
- Physical boards and pegs are sold separately.
Classroom ideas to try
- Prepare a counting lesson: ask children to build a quantity and explain how they checked it.
- Compare strategies: choose an addition or subtraction task and let pairs show different solutions with pegs.
- Extend a pattern: ask children to predict the next few positions before checking them on the board.
Invite children to explain what they notice, compare different strategies and choose equipment that suits their learning.
