ANY BOOKLISTS HERE ARE FOR THE OLDER WEEKLY PLANS – they are NOT for the new Flexible Blocks which have their own booklists accessible here: https://www.hamilton-trust.org.uk/blog/flexible-blocks-booklists/
Flexible Blocks
Maths: Hamilton's short maths blocks have all the benefits of our weekly plans. They also provide support and resources that were simply not possible when we produced the weekly plans. Find out about the advantages of short blocks.
Extra Maths Support - Year 2
The extra support activities below match Hamilton’s weekly maths plans. We now also provide Year 2 maths as short blocks. We will eventually be phasing out the plans, as we believe our short blocks offer you all of the same advantages and more, including the integration of the problem-solving investigations into each unit of study. Find out more about the advantages of Hamilton's short blocks.
