This homework series has been created for classroom teachers and parents with
students of a range of abilities taken into consideration. The focus will be
on reinforcement of the basics in math, as well as activities aimed at developing
understanding of classroom activities in mathematics. It is sometimes difficult
to locate materials suitable for homework activities in the area of specific
learning difficulties. Some homework is designed to cover a broad range of topics
on one page . making it confusing for some students to read and answer. Some
homework activities are not linked to classroom work and do not include examples
or answers which enable parents to support their child's learning. Students
with Specific Learning Difficulties experience a range of problems with their
academic learning. These aspects include:
- Difficulties with word recognition and comprehension
- Coping with pages that are too cluttered and with too many differing requirements
- Being unable to sequence, recall and apply strategies in abstract situations
- Striving to process formation while working to meet deadlines
- Having trouble with personal organization with their schoolwork.
The books in this series are designed with these problems in mind, and while
pages are designed for the student with learning difficulties, they can also be
used as a simple and straightforward introduction to concepts or a reinforcement
of mathematical strategies for the whole class. The books will follow a basic
format, with a variety of homework topics usually containing a choice of two worksheets.
