My philosophy in teaching can be boiled down to: REPETITION, DRILL, PRACTICE – and this applies especially to maths. Use the Ant Books maths workbooks to build strong foundations in maths. Remember to email me for order forms which will list the maths books according to grade – here, they are listed alphabetically with a ‘recommended’ grade alongside.

D

Daily Dozen

Grades 1,2. These popular workbooks focus on the BONDS – vital to learn before beginning on tables. Book 1 covers the number range up to 10; book 2, the number range 10 – 20 and book 3 revises all the bonds from 1-20. Number line provided on each page.

Daily Score

Grades 3-5. The next step up from the Daily Score, these not only contain BONDS but TABLES, too. Book 1: the tables 2, 3, 4, 5, 10. Book 2: the tables 6, 7, 8, 9. Book 3: All the tables.

Decimals

G5-7. A vital part of your maths syllabus – plenty of practice exercises.

F

Fractions

G4-7. This section is vital – many problems in high school can be traced back to the incorrect introduction and poor knowledge of fractions. The ANT BOOKS provide plenty of practice.

Mixed Bag

G1-7. Our all-time favourite maths workbook. Each page contains a mix of maths relating to the syllabus, ensuring that all concepts are kept ‘warm on the back burner’, no matter what section you are covering at the present time. Great for diagnostic testing: can your child get full marks for a page from the year before? If not, revision needed!
