Primary Maths Series – FAQ

The New Edition offers several updates and enhanced features, such as:

• Content that is aligned with the latest government guidance
• An increased focus on mathematical language, including a “maths language’’ feature within the Teacher Guide for every lesson
• A new worksheet structure that is carefully varied to ensure timely progression through key mathematical ideas, support day-to-day assessment and guide students to a deeper understanding of core concepts

The Primary Series has been updated across the textbooks, workbooks and online resources for the New Edition. Therefore, First Edition materials are not compatible with the New Edition.

You can still use the First Edition printed books but they will no longer be available for purchase from the Online Shop after 2022. We recommend home schoolers transition to the New Edition in 2023.
