2008-06-07 Won't take the pain out of planning

This book is supposed to be based on the renewed framework for maths and claims to provide a complete set of lesson plans for each unit. While it does take some of the learning objectives from the framework and includes some useful lesson ideas and resources for individual objectives, the sequences of lessons are badly thought out. Lesson sequences (e.g. for units A1, B1 etc.) bear no resemblance to the 'learning overviews' published on the Standards Site and are certainly not an improvement on them.
