Ireland’s favourite maths series has been revised for the new Primary Mathematics Curriculum!

About the 1st Class book

The 1st Class book introduces the column format with two columns per page to simulate assessment-style formatting without overwhelm.

Graphics appear frequently throughout the columns, both engaging the pupil’s attention and aiding conceptual understanding of topics through comparisons of weight, volume, quantities, height, and more.

The ‘Monday Focus’ provides hints and examples to ease pupils into new concepts or strategies. This is followed through with the ‘Weekly Focus’, which explores a singular concept in the first question of the Monday to Thursday columns of that week, providing a deep and comprehensive learning experience.
