In this book your child will find:
Mathematics
✓ Thirty carefully graded, double-page units
✓ Activities that cover Australian Curriculum Mathematics
✓ Four double-page revision units
Ages
✓ Four double-page NAPLAN-style Tests
✓ Marking grids to identify strengths and areas that require
further revision

✓ A lift-out answer section
The aim of this book is to build basic skills in Mathematics. The format of each unit is exactly the same
so that each question covers the same Australian Curriculum topic throughout the book. The content of
the questions becomes progressively more difficult as students work through the book. The sequence of
units allows for regular practice that will reinforce the basic Mathematics skills taught in schools.

Introduction
The aim of the Excel Basic Skills Mathematics series is to build on and reinforce students’ basic skills in
Mathematics. The books in the series support the requirements of Australian Curriculum Mathematics at
each year level.
The Excel Basic Skills Mathematics series consists of seven books, one for each year level from
Kindergarten/Foundation to Year 6. The series is supported by other books in the Excel Basic Skills and
Advanced Skills series.
Structure of the book

This book contains:
❂ thirty carefully graded, double-page units of teaching and learning activities.
❂ Unit A covers most of the Number and Algebra strand of the syllabus focusing on topics like
Counting, Addition and Subtraction.
❂ Unit B covers the rest of the Number and Algebra strand as well as the remaining Measurement,
Geometry, and Statistics and Probability strands of the syllabus focusing on topics like Money,
Time and Graphs.
❂ four double-page revision units.
❂ four double-page NAPLAN-style Tests.
How to use this book

❂ Students should complete one unit per week. A suggested plan would be to complete the Unit A page
for the week on one day and the Unit B page on another day of the same week.
❂ At the end of a sequence of units students should undertake the applicable Revision units. If students find
particular revision questions difficult they should revisit those areas in the previous sequence of units.
❂ After appropriate revision activities students should undertake the NAPLAN-style Test for those units.
The revision work and testing should be completed on different days.
How to use this book with the Basic Skills English series
For a complete weekly English and Mathematics program use this book in conjunction
with the Excel Basic Skills English Year 1 book. This way a student will have work set
for four days a week—two days for English and two days for Mathematics.
How to assess students’ progress

❂ The results of the work undertaken in each unit can be recorded on the marking grid. The marking
grids on pages 6 and 7 (please see the example on page 4) are easy-to-use diagnostic tools that indicate
where students’ strengths and weaknesses lie in relation to specific areas of Mathematics. These results
can be used to gather extra information about students’ progress and their further revision needs.
The Basic Skills and Advanced Skills series

If students are experiencing difficulty, require additional practice or need extension in any area of the
course, further books are available to support them in the Excel Basic Skills and Advanced Skills
series. (Please see the comprehensive list of Excel books on page 5.)
