Description

Ireland’s favourite maths series has been revised for the new Primary Mathematics Curriculum!

New Wave Mental Maths is a series of seven workbooks written to provide a comprehensive and structured daily approach to learning and practising mental maths for classes from Senior Infants to 6th Class.

With a fresh look and added features, the series has been updated to cover all mental maths-related strands and strand units of the new Primary Mathematics Curriculum.

New Wave Mental Maths is designed to:

encourage and develop mental calculation concepts and skills;
constantly revise the different strands and strand units;
develop and reinforce problem-solving strategies;
develop and maintain speed of recall; and
practise, consolidate, and reinforce mathematical vocabulary and language.

About the 2nd Class book

The 2nd Class book continues the two-column format introduced in the 1st Class book. Using this familiar layout eases pupils into the new mathematical concepts introduced in this book, which include place value of three-digit numbers, rounding, and more complex addition and subtraction strategies. Telling time questions develop in difficulty, introducing quarter-past and quarter-to times.
