Detail on what to expect at this year's Conference.
Newsflash!
The NumberSense Mathematics Programme is undergoing an exciting update! Features of the next version of the NumberSense Workbooks include:
- Incorporating Geometry, Measurement, and Data Handling directly into the workbooks for all grades.
- Curriculum mapping by workbook to support planning and reporting against curriculum targets.
