Makes Sense Series

This set of six books from SMILE caters for a wide range of ability and ages. The activities cover aspects of algebra, multiplication, ratio and using spreadsheets. All include teachers' notes and photocopiable activity sheets.

Many of the activities are suitable for whole class lessons and contain much scope for discussion. However, all the materials have been designed to contain sufficiently clear instructions to be accessible to students with minimal teacher support. This makes them ideal for use within whole class differentiated topic work as the teacher is left free to discuss structural issues with individuals or groups as they arise.

Full answers are given for each activity.
