Number Board Teacher's Guide 2
Couldn't load pickup availability
Teacher’s Guide 2 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 2 covers place value; addition, subtraction, multiplication and division; fractions, decimals and percentages; number theory, patterns and area.
- 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
- Plan an array investigation: have children build three rows of four, turn the arrangement and explain what has changed.
- Connect fractions and percentages: use a hundred board to represent one quarter, then discuss equivalent decimal and percentage forms.
- Adapt a task: ask children to model an answer in two ways and use their explanations to decide the next challenge.
Invite children to explain what they notice, compare different strategies and choose equipment that suits their learning.
