Now that the Curriculum for Excellence outcomes are complete, we’re delighted to support you in the delivery of this new curriculum. Below is a quick guide of the support available for our major maths and science programmes. Do please contact |us if you need more details and we will do our best to respond as soon as we can.
Scottish Heinemann Maths and Heinemann Maths
We’ve been speaking to schools that use Scottish Heinemann Maths recently and we're pleased to share their thoughts so far. Take a look at the Curriculum for Excellence linking chart and videos below which will help you to see the extent to which Scottish Heinemann Maths supports you in delivering the Curriculum for Excellence.

Looking for MORE SUPPORT?
If you'd like more detailed ideas and support, read about |the three teacher’s guides written by the SHM authors and Curriculum for Excellence experts. Each guide comes with advice about delivering the Curriculum for Excellence in your school, plus a CD-ROM with video clips and photos to support any staff meetings you might run. Much of the material would also be useful for schools using a mixture of Scottish Heinemann Maths and Heinemann Maths resources.
