The 'Striving to Improve Series' targets 11 - 15 year old students who, for whatever reason, are struggling to keep up with their peers. The activities in the books are designed to prevent students from regressing any further at school. The tasks are based on a modified curriculum so that students can work at their own pace and without constant supervision from the teacher. This book, 'Integers', is focused on Number and Algebra Strands for lower ability students and those who need further opportunity to consolidate these core areas in mathematics. The section entitled Understanding Integers enables students to re-encounter ideas of place value, rounding, estimation, factors, multiples and the concept of a directed number. The section entitled Calculating With Integers walks students through the four core calculations. Students explore addition and subtraction with two and three digit sums and can apply what they have learned to some real life application problems. Similarly, students explore the various levels of multiplication and division before applying them to a variety of applications. Each section provides students with the opportunity to consolidate written and mental methods of calculation, with an emphasis on process and understanding. The activities can be used for individual students needing further consolidation in a mainstream classroom or as instructional worksheets for a whole class of lower ability students. The activities are aimed at students working at approximate year levels of Year 4 through to Year 7 and are appropriate for students requiring extra support in Years 7, 8 and 9.
