A classroom resource providing ideas for oral work and discussion for low attainers in mathematics in years 7, 8 and 9 (ages 11-14). The main aspect of the publication is the Teachers' Guide. The pupils' books have some discussion points and some practice examples. The philosophy behind the series is that low attainers may be able to explore mathematical ideas verbally when they cannot cope with the printed word.
