This resource provides educators with a structured approach to teaching primary school mathematics using manipulatives. The book offers a six-week program of simple, at-a-glance activities designed to be implemented for just 10 minutes a day. It aims to deepen children's mastery of abstract ideas and core mathematical concepts through varied representations and problem-solving contexts, utilizing everyday objects and common math resources.

The approach presented in this resource has been fully trialled and demonstrated success in primary schools across the country as part of the Making Mathematics Count research project. The activities are designed to be easily implemented by educators, offering a practical and visual method for teaching mathematical concepts. The focus on using manipulatives for short, daily sessions aims to build a richer and deeper mastery of mathematics for young learners.
