Time for New Maths Australia - Book 6 is the last in the series of seven books that treats Mathematics in the context of everyday language. Lessons have been developed from the Guideline, Elaboration and Descriptions and found in Mathematics Australian Curriculum F-10. 

The strands include Number and Place Value, Patterns and Algebra, using units of Measurement and Geometry along with Statistics and Probability. The program in this book will help the parent or teacher present and the child develop in proficiencies of understanding, fluency, problem solving, and reasoning which are integral parts of the Mathematic content of the program. Pupils will also learn the language of mathematics so it becomes more meaningful when attempting lessons within the book. Some lessons may need the parent or  teacher to assist with instructions. At all times the intent of the activity should be explained. 

Parents or Teachers can use activities in this book as motivation or more importantly as a written record of understanding and performance after hands-on activities and classroom discussion. Some children may need help in understanding concepts. A class “chalk and talk” to explain concepts may be required from time to time.

Content descriptions and curriculum references can be found at the bottom of each page throughout the book. This along with the Lesson Overview Register will help teachers cross reference the lesson content with curriculum objectives. While

there is a suggested sequence of lessons, teachers can use the program as necessary to meet individual needs of the pupils, classroom priorities and school philosophy. Simple registration by the teacher to monitor lessons is flexible.

However, the Overview addresses the year’s objectives prescribed by the curriculum.

Each book in the series is fully self-contained with a suggested Lesson Register. There are four reviews at the end of all lessons and topics, a full set of answers and an Evaluation Profile. The evaluation profile provides an ideal measurement

of a pupil’s achievement in mathematics. As the pupil develops skill in mathematics throughout the year, the parent or teacher can use the Evaluation Profile on page 166 to monitor and record progress.

It can also be used as a Pupil Profile checklist as proficiencies in each area of mathematics are achieved by the pupil, Time for New Maths Australia is also supported by a Time for New Mentals Australia book for each grade. The work in Time for New Mentals can be used to extend activities, used at home to reinforce lessons or as a stand-alone book that further exposes the pupil to proficiencies of the curriculum. Each Time for New Mentals book has a full set of answers for teachers and or parents to help the child develop an understanding and confidence in mathematics.
