On a Roll with Maths has been developed to grab the attention of your students and keep them motivated to practise and build on their numeracy skills. Its experienced authors break down each strategy or knowledge component into sequential steps to make new learning as easy as possible. Recognising that children need repetition to grasp a specific concept, they have also devised a great variety of activities related to the same skill so that practice feels fresh each time. Giving students opportunities to apply their number knowledge and mental strategies is a further priority in this series devoted to strengthening core numeracy skills.
Jackie Andrews is the principal of St Teresa's Primary School, Christchurch, New Zealand, where for the last 10 years she has enjoyed teaching and learning alongside students she describes as "the most fabulous little people". Her classroom experience, combined with her leadership role, continues to shape the practical, supportive resources she creates for busy educators to make teaching manageable, engaging and effective. Her 75+ educational titles across mathematics, English and curriculum planning are widely used in schools. As schools work through ongoing curriculum changes, Jackie is particularly passionate about creating resources that help teachers make sense of new expectations and confidently support learning so that students experience success in the classroom. Outside of education, Jackie's greatest joy has been watching her own children grow up and begin to spread their wings.
