About the Book

This fully photocopiable resource will provide essential materials for anyone teaching Pre-entry or foundation Maths in secondary schools and further education. Teaching Foundation Mathematics is developed to provide age appropriate material for adult learners with moderate to severe learning difficulties and/or disabilities and for children, over 12, with special needs. It will also prove useful to teachers training to work with these learners.
