These materials reflect six key areas which have been identified as essential prerequisites within the Framework's Year 1 to 3 teaching programmes for future learning in mathematics.

The six key areas are: ordering numbers; counting on and back; partitioning and recombining; addition/subtraction facts within 20; understanding the four operations; and problem solving strategies.

Six models and images charts support the first five key areas listed above. The charts include a selection of models and images to help in teaching the key areas in a way that promotes and supports children's understanding.

Selected Unit Plans are provided to exemplify the use of models and images on the charts. Some of these have further support sessions to provide additional help for those children who are falling behind.

    the Models and Images charts are an extremely valuable resource for planning the areas concerned. All teachers and TAs should have them with them (A4) to ensure that all children have the opportunity to experience maths in a kinaesthetic and visual way
