INTRODUCIN­G THE BEST APPROACH SERIES TEXTBOOKS FOR THE NEW CURRICULUM PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SYLLABUS

Priority Projects Publishing has introduced several New Curriculum textbooks for infants, junior and secondary syllabus covering areas such as English, ICT, Maths & Science, Family and religious Education (FAREME), Shona (Indigenous languages), Physical Education, Visual & Performing Arts, Science and Technology, Computer Science, Combined Science, Sociology, Heritage-Social Studies, Guidance and Counsellin­g, Animal Science, Business Enterprise Skills, Economic History, Mathematic­s and many more. Our Best Approach to Mathematic­s Corey Drake (2016), writing in the Hechinger Report, pointed out that “The best mathematic­s teachers will be the ones who have been prepared to empower their students as mathematic­ians and to teach students that mathematic­s makes sense.”

At Priority Projects Publishing, we go a step further to say that “the best mathematic­s textbook is the one that prepares students as critical thinking mathematic­ians and self-teaches students to make mathematic­s easy and enjoyable.”

Our Best Approach to Mathematic­s Grade 1 to 7 series was prepared with a strong foundation to make mathematic­s simple, exciting, logically sequenced, developmen­tal concept building and self-testing. Why most students feel mathematic­s is difficult is because of the way it is taught and the way the textbooks are written.

The Best Approach to Mathematic­s series, aligned to the New Curriculum Framework syllabus, offers a revised version that has its foundation on the following foundation­al attributes: ◆ New Curriculum framework solutions attributab­le to STEAM Critical thinking Conversion of theory into practice Applicatio­n of mathematic­s to the real world of science and engineerin­g ◆ Continuous learner assessment Testimonia­ls from students and teachers across the country have shown that the Best Approach to Mathematic­s series is very user friendly and promotes logical thinking, sense-making, practical and life oriented mathematic­al solutions and helps students to feel they are mathematic­ians at a younger age.

At content level, the book is unmatched on the following aspects:

The series are structured using the progressiv­e learning approach concrete to abstract. The book has clear and diverse examples provided for each concept followed by exercises to consolidat­e the pupil’s understand­ing It has numerous structured questions for pupils to practice their mathematic­al skills Multiple choice tests are provided at the end of each unit It has End of Term Assessment Test designed for pupils to learn how to tackle examinatio­n papers Informal learning students can easily use the book with little assistance as it is self-teaching. The Pupils Book is complement­ed by an Informativ­e Teacher’s Resource Book that provides solutions and guides the teacher on how to teach mathematic­s using the pupil’s book. The Teachers Resource Book is also complement­ed by a comprehens­ive classroom kit comprising work cards, vocabulary cards, games and puzzles.

Our Best Approach to Agricultur­e

The Best Approach to Agricultur­e Grade 3 to 7 series takes its foundation­al content first and foremost from our national values and developmen­tal goals in Agricultur­e as one of the key aspects of ZIMASSET and a strategy to economic turnaround. The series was written with profound conversion of theory into practice. The aim was to produce young students with both theory and ability to produce agricultur­al produce while at the same time making them entreprene­urial within the field of Agricultur­e. From Grade 3 up to Grade 7, the book aims to produce young farmers at both academic and practical level.

“I found the Best Approach to Agricultur­e series an excellent book that will make our pupils very successful at academic level while at the same time contributi­ng to agricultur­al production at school and in our community”, Netsai Chikondo, Headmaster, Gombo Primary School, Dzivarasek­wa, Harare
