Brian O'Doherty presents a comprehensive teaching guide that follows Ireland's updated Primary School Mathematics Curriculum. The handbook supports educators working with sixth-grade students by providing structured lesson plans organized into two-week segments. Teachers receive detailed notes and ready-to-copy materials that build genuine mathematical understanding rather than rote memorization. The guide emphasizes problem-solving skills through varied approaches. O'Doherty includes three formal assessments per academic term for schools requiring documented progress. Each curriculum unit comes with two supplementary worksheets: one for additional practice and another for advanced students. The handbook provides complete answer keys for both the main textbook and enrichment materials. Schools adopting the program gain access to digital resources including interactive tools, musical times tables, and electronic textbook versions through the dedicated website.
