Intervention description
Power of 2 is a coaching manual which allows anyone to deliver individual support. It teaches all the mental maths needed by the new Mathematics Curriculum. Power of 2 is designed to put in place the building blocks of number and develop mental calculation skills.
The Power of 2 book has been used with pupils aged 8 and upwards, up to adult basic skills.
The book is designed to be used 4 or 5 times a week, with each session lasting 10 to 15 minutes.
