Abstract

Create an inclusive classroom for all through engaging maths activities such as Shape Bingo, Cake Splat! and Fruity Fractions, all of which have been matched to the UK National Curriculum P Levels 4 - 8. Tailored to the specific P Level, each lesson plan includes a learning objective, the resources needed, the main activity, a plenary and a consolidation activity to help support children's understanding.

When working with children, and especially those with SEN, lessons need to meet their interests as well as their needs by containing visual stimulus, movement and fine and gross motor skills, and the activities in this book have been specifically designed with this in mind. This straightforward and practical book offers you 101 creative classroom activities for teaching maths to pupils who are achieving at P Levels 4 - 8 and Key Stage One as well as mapping the range of additional skills they will acquire.

This exciting book provides enjoyable and tailored multisensory activities enabling young children to explore mathematics through play. Suitable for mainstream and SEN pupils, it will enhance learning and create a love of discovery. The clear learning outcomes and performance guidelines help teachers and children to have fun with confidence.

Claire Brewer has been teaching pupils with severe learning difficulties, profound and multiple learning difficulties and autism since completing her PGCE at Goldsmiths University. She is currently completing a Masters in Special and Inclusive Education. Claire lives in London.
Kate Bradley had a background in occupational therapy before re-training as a teacher. She has worked in both mainstream and special needs schools, making the lessons fun and engaging for SEN learners. Kate is completing a Masters in Special and Inclusive Education. She lives in London.

As Headteacher of the school Kate and Claire worked at whilst writing this book, I can fully endorse all of the activities they suggest, as I have seen them working in practice. The pupils in their classes developed their understanding of maths through this wide array of fun learning activities. I encourage teachers of pupils with special educational needs in both special schools and mainstream schools to use these activities to promote maths learning in a way that truly engages pupils.

101 Inclusive and SEN Maths Activities is a book that every teacher and TA teaching primary pupils who are working at below age related expectations needs to own. Simple and easy to read, it is full of ideas about engaging children in play, so that teaching (and learning) becomes a process - children learn by doing, rather than a product - here's a work sheet to complete. This is a book about having FUN, the best resource any teacher can own.

This book is full of really useful tried and tested ideas for gaining and sustaining the attention of learners with SEN in numeracy lessons. It will be particularly useful to teachers with developing knowledge of SEN, who are wishing to make their lessons more inclusive. '101 Inclusive and SEN maths activities' also offers a wealth of ideas, which can be used in home education.
