Play on numbers nominated for nasen Pupil book award
We are delighted to be nominated for the second year running for a nasen pupil book award. Play on numbers has been shortlisted for the nasen Book to Support Teaching and Learning - Pupil Book Award 2009. The play on numbers series is graded number puzzles designed to help reinforce basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division skills. The series have been created specifically for older learners who have tried and tried again with basic numeracy and who are fed up with the less than adult approach that some resources take.
At the 2008 nasen awards Axis Education received a double nomination for This life readers and Basic skills for work - with This life readers winning a pupil book and Basic skills for work receiving a highly commended. The nasen Awards promote excellence and good practice in the field of special and additional needs and this years winner will be announced at the Special Needs London event in October.
