Summary

This is a practical handbook for teachers and parents which demonstrates the Paired Maths method for parental involvement and peer tutoring with children aged four to fourteen years. It provides a brief introduction to the rationale, materials, organization and evaluation of the method and many photocopiable resources. The photocopiable mathematics games included are particularly suitable for children aged nine to twelve years, especially when involved in cooperative learning or peer tutoring in schools or study centers, but they are also useful for parental involvement with younger children and with older children who have difficulty with mathematics.
