iiiIntroduction for Parents and Teachers

Planet Maths is a series of Maths textbooks, activity books and corresponding teacher’s manuals for Junior Infants to 6th Class. It is in line with the Revised Primary Curriculum and has been written by primary school teachers. Curriculum Strands, Strand Units and Objectives are detailed throughout.

Planet Maths has been designed to provide students with challenging activities and enjoyable mathematical experiences to help them become confident mathematicians. Pupils using Planet Maths will experience mathematical learning through the following approach:

• Learning the new maths skills associated with a topic with the aid of explanation boxes and/or worked examples that introduce each new concept or operation;

• Practising and reinforcing new skills through drills and repetition, while also providing as much variety and stimulation as possible;• Exploring and applying their skills in ‘real life’ contexts and situations that are relevant, fun and stimulating to young minds.

‘Real life’ themed maths featuresThere are seven two-page ‘real life’ themed maths features spread throughout the 3rd to 6th Class textbooks. They are designed to bring Maths to life, making it more engaging for students by enabling them to use their skills in contexts that are refreshing, relevant and interesting to them. Each ‘real life’ feature uses the skills and knowledge that pupils have acquired in the preceding units.

Warm-Up ActivitiesA warm-up activity appears at the beginning of every new topic along with the instruction, ‘Listen to your teacher’. These game-like activities open each unit of the senior textbooks and are led by the teacher with directions from the accompanying teacher’s manual. Because they are conducted at the start of each unit, these activities provide a mental warm-up for students, preparing them to learn by focusing their attention on the teacher. Warm-up activities are based on the concepts and operations relevant to the topic.

Pair and Group WorkThe series recognises the value of collaborative learning and ample opportunities are provided throughout the textbooks for both pair work and group work. Maths puzzles suited to pairs, straightforward group activities and oral activities such as ‘pretend you are the teacher’ are used in the series.

Differentiation To promote ease of differentiation, a red line appears beside a selection of problems and sums in the 3rd to 6th Class textbooks that could prove more challenging for many pupils. Additionally, the 3rd to 6th Class textbooks contain Challenge Yourself problems designed to provide early finishers with extra stimulus and reward, and to assist with differentiation.

Self-AssessmentSelf-assessment is strong feature of the series. Pupils are encouraged to rate their own performance and understanding of a topic through the use of a traffic light system at the end of every page in each topic. Students can assess their performance at the end – red for difficultly, amber for improvement and green for full understanding.

Check Up Activities Each topic unit concludes with a page of concise check up activities designed to reinforce learning. Check ups include oral, operational, problem-solving and shared activities based on the topic at hand. Oral activities reinforce communicating and expressing as a mathematical skill, and vocabulary-based exercises assess the pupil’s understanding of the mathematical language used in the unit.

Mental MathsSeven dedicated Mental Maths units are placed strategically throughout the 3rd to 6th Class textbooks, with each one including a Multiple Choice component. Each section in Mental Maths contains a score box for pupils to rate their performance. This will encourage them to collaborate in their own progress and to recognise areas where more effort and assistance is needed.

The Teacher’s Manual accompanying this textbook includes:

• A guide providing comprehensive suggestions on how to make the best use of this series.• Oral and mental maths activity suggestions.• Maths language relevant to each topic.• Suggestions for using concrete materials and manipulatives.• Photocopiable activities for differentiation and extension exercises.• Photocopiable templates for practice and repetition of fundamental concepts.• Answers.• Assessment sheets.• Individual student profile sheets.• Class record sheets.

The activity books in the series contain supplementary and differentiation activities. Interactive activities for this series can also be found at: www.folensonline.ie.
