Mental Arithmetic is a highly differentiated progressive series of books proven to raise children's attainment (alone or in conjunction with the I Can Do Teacher's Guide which explains how to use the books as a scheme of work in schools). The series is based on ability (rather than age cohorts) so that books can be matched to the needs of every child (including supporting transition from KS1 to KS2 & KS2 to KS3). The books are also assessment-linked so that children can record their own progress & see their achievement build over time. Each book uses the same method of practising the 4 basic number operations (to keep skills sharp) & challenging children to do more complex one- & two-step problems involving logical thinking & application of knowledge previously introduced. Each answer book
Includes:: guidance on how to use the pupil books & mark results notes on strategies/skills/knowledge covered by each book & a photocopiable record sheet.

The Mental Capacity Act 2005 creates statutory provisions to empower & protect vulnerable people who lack the mental capacity to make their own decisions. Issued on 23 April 2007 the Code of Practice provides guidance on how the provisions of the Act will work on a daily basis for those caring for or working with people lacking mental capacity. The Code is important for professionals
- such as doctors & social workers
- but family friends & unpaid carers will also find it helpful. While certain groups of people are legally required to have regard to the Code when acting or making decisions on behalf of people lacking capacity those who are not legally required to have regard to the Code are still encouraged to use it as a good practice guide. The Code incorporates good practice & case studies & demonstrates how the principles of the Act can be applied flexibly in particular circumstances. Please note: The Mental Capacity Act 2005 Code of Practice" (2007 Final Edition) has superceded " The Mental Capacity Act 2005 Code of Practice" (2007 Draft Edition) (ISBN 0117037346
