Take a Teacher Home CD

Helping primary children with their maths can be daunting for many parents. 

Maths teaching has usually changed since their schooldays and children are learning using different strategies. 

Take a Teacher Home on CD explains how maths is taught in today's classroom so that parents can provide assistance where necessary for their children.

This double CD contains video clips of a teacher, Kathryn Robinson, showing exactly how maths is taught in today’s classrooms, thus enabling parents to adopt the same methodology when assisting their children at home.

Before ‘having a go’, both child and parent can view the video demonstrating how the particular calculation is taught. If more help is needed at any time, the 'Help Me' button allows the video clip to be viewed again and again.
