Any state primaries or pre-pre/prep schools using maths textbooks?

[pickledsiblings]

I'm curious about this and would love to hear from people.

There is a bit of a push on to reintroduce the textbooks and I was wondering which schools still used them or had plans to introduce them.

There is a Shanghai maths one scheduled for publication soon. Good thing/bad thing?

Thanks.

Also worth remembering we are asking primary kids to achieve the equivalent of a GCSE 5 years early

I'm in Scotland so use different textbooks, but yes I do use them! I have 3 groups which are very distinct so at least one group will be using a textbook in a day while the other two groups might be doing something different. We have Heinemann active maths which is brilliant and has 6 different textbooks per level to cover each topic. We also still use the old Heinemann because it covers some things better. It absolutely isn't the only thing that I should use, or that any teacher should use, but I'm fairly certain that I would go mad trying to come up with activities on my own for my 3 different groups to do every day. I teach P5 and have children working at P3 level and children working beyond P7. I know that's not overly unusual, but it does mean that I can give a textbook to extend or support those kids.

kesstrel sounds like there is going to be plenty of investment in the Shanghi ones. They come with a workbook called something like a page a lesson' which aims to build fluency - lots of questions.

All the schemes I've mentioned come with lots of expensive workbooks (that schools can't really afford ) pickled

The latest sample to drop through the school letterbox has 2 text books and 16 workbooks per year group @ a cost of £30 per child!

What soapboxqueen said. You need activities - it is often faster to write my own than to dig through the bookcase of various textbooks, and TES, and mathsworksheetsforkids, etc, trying to find what fits the scheme of work that week. Sadly the SOW changes with disturbing frequency.

Thanks for the Maths Mastery links mrz, looks interesting although not particularly new/different and not sure how fluency will be developed.

Mastery is definitely very different to the approach followed under the old national curriculum and numeracy framework.
