New  MathsAhead is a series of 10 books (Primer A,  B and Books 1 – 8) for pre-primary to middle school level. The books are in  line with the National Curriculum  Framework and follow the guidelines laid down by the NCERT. 
    The Primers
    Primers  A and B focus on laying the ground for sound development of mathematical  concepts. They are gently graded, starting from pre-number concepts that ensure  an understanding of the language of Maths appropriate for the level. They then  progress to an understanding of numbers, the interaction between numbers, and  shapes and patterns. 
    Maths Lab Activities and Fun  Activities ensure sound concept formation and an element of fun. 
    Features of Books 1 – 5 
      - Open and colourful layout. 
     - Emphasis  on application  orientation, with focus on applications of maths in our daily life,  for example in measurements, money, area and volume.
     - Two  worksheets (instead  of 1) at the end of each chapter. 
   
  Mathletics A for concepts and calculation skills – to  enhance understanding and the skill to calculate quickly. It includes concept  and calculation-based exercises, and mental maths.
    Mathletics B for higher skills – MCQs, higher  order thinking, cross-curricular  applications, life skills and values. It includes fun activities, projects and our heritage (such as yoga and Vedic maths). 
      - The Common Mistakes feature present throughout the books helps students  understand and overcome mistakes. 
     - Solved examples of long  division in Books 3-5 worked out on a grid (similar to  Maths exercise books) for ease of understanding.
