The HEAS Maths Pack
The Maths Pack consists of a parents’ booklet and two sets of worksheets (“The Basics” and “Moving On”). It is designed for use at Key Stage 3 (11-14 years) with emphasis on revision and consolidation of Maths skills. Learners at the end of the primary stage will find useful guidance in the Maths Pack to help them to move on to secondary level Maths. A parent says: “Unlike most curriculum materials the HEAS Maths Pack is very flexible and it does not require the child to complete a set amount of work each week. This can be very daunting especially if you are not very confident in the subject. We also liked the way the materials can be used with any textbook, so that we can choose one that suits us.”
