Scholastic Prime Mathematics 4a (Paperback)

PR1ME Mathematics incorporates the best teaching and learning practices of the three global top performers (Singapore, Hong Kong and Republic of Korea). Its proven approach and consistent lesson design create a powerful learning ecosystem for premier instruction and student performance at the highest level.

There are two PR1ME Coursebooks (Student Workbooks) for each level/grade - Books A and B. It is recommended that each student has their own set of coursebooks.

Each chapter treats a mathematical concept in depth, with a series of tightly scaffolded lessons to gradually build understanding. Each lesson starts with an explicit, teacher-led activity called Let’s Learn that models examples of mathematical thinking and problem solving. This is followed by some ‘guided’ activities to allow students to apply their understanding in Let’s Do. At the end of lessons there are some Let’s Practice activities so students are able to demonstrate their understandings and teachers are able to do immediate formative assessment. Many of the topics in PR1ME go beyond those taught in the South African CAPS curriculum at the same year level.

Also available for PR1ME Mathematics: Teacher's Guides (2 per level), Practice Books (2 per level), Practice Tests (1 per level), manipulatives (per level).
