CHILD-CENTRIC
A Teacher & Parent page at the beginning of the book contains a list of all materials needed for that tier of work.
A tier of work is divided into five units of work, each of which takes approximately one week to complete. This serves as a natural planner for the teacher and the taught.
Most units in mathematics integrate a history fact that is followed by questions that relate present knowledge to the past.
Theory is presented in a form that children can follow and apply by themselves.
