One Hundred Minutes to Better Basic Skills Take just one minute a day to quickly assess student progress in basic math skills! This book features 100 quick drill sheets to help students increase speed in math operations and strengthen problem-solving skills. The 10 problems on each sheet can be done in one or two minutes and are a great warm-up to the daily math lesson.

With 100 day to day activities covering all mathematical strands, this title can be easily integrated into any primary maths programme. It includes easy to follow activities that promote the ongoing learning of essential maths concepts and skills through practice and reinforcement.

Why 60 seconds in a minute? Who invented zero? What exactly is pi? Why do mathematicians hunt prime numbers? And how can you get a number bigger than infinity? To find out, take a tour through 200 important, fascinating and unusual numbers - the easy and entertaining way to grasp mathematics. Numbers in Minutes demystifies the maths surrounding the key numbers including: zero, 1-40, negatives, percentages, prime numbers, fractions, decimals, pi, exponentials, imaginary numbers, squares and cubes, roots and powers, Fibonacci numbers, the golden ratio, millions and trillions, a googol, 'perfect,' 'kissing,' 'vampire' and 'weird' numbers, infinity, infinity+1 and other sizes of infinity... Every number is explained in a few short paragraphs with a helpful picture, making the maths simple to understand and remember.

Great for teachers and parents alike! The exercises in this book--called "Minutes"--provide practice in every key area of middle-grade math instruction, including basic multiplication and division facts, graphing, problem solving, measurement, fractions, and more. Each "Minute" consists of 10 classroom-tested problems of varying degrees of difficulty to be completed in one minute. Teachers can use the book in a variety of ways such as bell-work, review, assessment, or homework.
