Devised after extensive consultation with primary teachers, "STEPS" is a complete maths scheme offering a pathway through the programmes of study for Key Stages 1 and 2. Among the features incorporated are activity-led learning; built-in assessment; a flexible approach to suit individual teachers; a wide choice of activities for all ability levels; cross-curricular links; attractive, highly visual pupil materials; help with forecasting and planning; a choice of record-keeping procedures; and ideas for home-school links.
