Build long-lasting maths confidence
Expertly crafted to develop strong mathematical understanding, The Primary Series ensures every child grows confident in maths.
The Primary Maths Series
Coherent, high-quality mathematics series that fully aligns to the English National Curriculum.
Robust scaffolded progression provides regular opportunities for learners to revisit learning.
Real-world relevance develops deep-rooted problem-solving confidence for life-long maths success.
Intentional, accessible and inclusive design removes hidden barriers to learning so everyone can learn.
Their learning journey
The Primary Series is designed with a spiral curriculum which builds concepts progressively over time, ensuring deep understanding. This coherence benefits teachers by providing a clear roadmap for instruction and pupils by fostering connections between mathematical ideas, leading to solid and transferable knowledge across the years. When pupils are able to focus on mastering new concepts while building upon previously learned skills, they develop a strong foundation in mathematics, leading to increased confidence and improved problem-solving abilities.
Textbooks and workbooks work together to match explorative, collaborative learning, rooted in real-life contexts, with individual practice.
The Primary Series is part of a wider programme. Begin your pupils' Maths — No Problem! learning journey earlier with Foundations.
Everything you need to support deep maths understanding
Textbooks
Two textbooks a year introduce and explore new concepts through clear models and real-world examples. The structured, consistent lesson organisation and progression helps learners to slowly build on past knowledge.
Inclusively designed, the clear page layout minimises overwhelm and aids in cognitive load management. The dyslexia-friendly font and colour vision deficient considerations make these textbooks accessible for all learners.
Workbooks
Two workbooks a year offer structured practice that deepens understanding and encourages independent practice.
Varied activities allow learners to apply what they have previously learned and consolidate understanding. Scaffolded activities help guide learners as they build their knowledge and confidence. Areas for notes and insights encourage metacognition, as well as provide opportunities to sketch and model mathematical ideas.

Can you imagine studying Shakespeare, Dickens or Shelley without having the physical book for reference? How about trying to pull apart the theories of quantum physics without the text and diagrams in front of you to decipher? Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it? So why is it that a whopping 10 per cent of schools believe the textbook approach is not right for them, while only 26 per cent of schools have a generally positive attitude to using textbooks in the teaching of mathematics?
