Practice and Apply About the Programme The Reaching Competence Mathematics Programme by Adept Education covers the mathematics curriculum up to high school Each book is divided into learning intentions that are appropriate for your learner s age group Learning intentions are maths skills that can be thought of as knowledge pieces that build on each other as students develop a deeper understanding of the concepts of mathematics Book 1 covers the 9 learning intentions for learners aged about 4 to 5 years old At this level learners need to practice recognising numbers up to ten They need to become confident at counting forwards to ten and backwards from ten They need to know numbers before and after a given number They need to be able to order numbers up to six Learning intentions are divided into Practice and Apply sections that should be worked through from start to finish The Practice sections are developed to drill the skill that the students are learning The grey boxes at the beginning of these pages are to aid parents understanding and to explain how the learning intentions link in with other parts of the programme The Apply sections are developed to ensure students can apply their new knowledge or skill to a problem solving situation Problem solving is emphasised in the Reaching Competence programme as this is a critical skill to have and often one that students have difficulty with Activities in the Apply sections are designed to broaden students understanding and enjoyment of their new maths skills Adept support Setting the pace Students will progress through each learning intention at a different pace One may take a few minutes to master and apply while another may take a few hours a week or more This is normal but if frustration arises move on to another learning intention and return to the difficult one after the next has been mastered If you have any questions as you move through the programme please don t hesitate to email us at support adepteducation co nz We will be happy to support you in helping your learner s confidence and maths ability grow and are keen to hear any feedback you may have on our programme 3 2020 Adept Education Limited

About the Author Lucy Patston BA BSc Hons PhD Lucy has 20 years of teaching experience and a strong academic background She has expertise in neuroscience psychology and human development and gained her doctorate for research investigating how childhood learning affects brain functioning in adulthood Lucy is a mum to three very energetic children all of whom have recently entered the school system As a parent and a teacher she understands how important it is for students to grasp key mathematical concepts and for parents to be actively engaged in this process where possible Lucy was raised in New Zealand during a time when the school curriculum was taught very differently to today and provides the Reaching Competence Programme direct to parents also In the Programme Lucy spends an equal amount of time helping parents understand the curriculum as she does students She believes that if parents can communicate effectively with their children about the concepts they are currently learning in the classroom then children will not only feel supported in their learning but will be open to realising how important maths is in our everyday lives When parents and teachers are using the same terminology and strategies to help their learners with numeracy our kids are winning 29 2020 Adept Education Limited
