Engineering 'aha' Moments in Number
Calculating Changes supports the development of a firmly founded, creative number sense through Infant years, then develops into a rich resource of ideas, activities and approaches for all primary teachers. We work within the context of all children learning to work like a mathematician in best practice classrooms.
