'Brain Benders 1' for Junior Primary Students, is the first book in a series of three. It contains twenty-six photocopiable mathematical problems which are all curriculum linked. Some of the problems are more challenging than others, thus the book caters for a range of abilities within the junior primary cohort.
Each problem appears next to an answer page which not only provides the problem’s solution but clearly explains the methods that can be used to arrive at the solution. In this way, Brain Benders 1 is designed to, not only test a wide range of methods to solve problems, but to equip students with effective problem solving techniques and strategies which will help strengthen their mathematical skills.

'Maths Rescue 3 – Number: Applications' is the third book in the Maths Rescue series. The focus of the series is on the reinforcement of “the basics” in maths, as well as activities aimed at developing understanding of mathematics concepts. Students with Specific Learning Difficulties experience a range of problems with their academic learning. These problems include word recognition and comprehension; coping with pages that are too cluttered and with too many differing requirements; being able to sequence, recall and apply strategies in abstract situations; striving to process information while working to meet deadlines and having trouble with personal organization with their schoolwork.
While the books in this series are designed for students with learning difficulties, they can be used as a simple and straightforward introduction to concepts or a reinforcement of mathematical strategies for the whole class. The books follow a basic format, with each activity usually containing a choice of two worksheets to cater for a range of ability levels. Activities in the series are linked to National Mathematics Curriculum Attainment Targets.
Each book contains:
Information on Specific Learning Difficulties: Information from a variety of referenced sources including online literature from recognised organisations. Includes descriptions of the various learning difficulties and ideas for strategies in the classroom and at home;
Student Lifesavers: Clearly presented charts designed as a “basic facts” reference for students who are working though more difficult maths concepts;
