How to actually teach problem solving beyond simply giving children problems actually presents a great challenge to teachers. There is a drive towards ‘mastering’ mathematics through using skills , knowledge, reasoning and creativity that makes this book an essential guide for teachers attempting to develop this area of their children’s learning. The author encourages us to consider our pedagogy, assessment and differentiation through some useful example activities, as well as the overall approach in schools to promoting mathematical thinking , fluency and confidence. This is an essential book for trainee and new teachers, and should be on staffroom bookshelves.
(Nick Tinsdeall 2016-03-14)Beginning teachers looking to build their subject knowledge and confidence in teaching mathematics will find this book invaluable. It uses the exploration of ‘big ideas’ to guide the reader through the trickier areas of the mathematics curriculum, building understanding to allow beginning teachers to explain key ideas, model mathematical reasoning and address errors and misconceptions with confidence.
(Catherine Foley 2016-04-06)Lightbulb moments for you and your pupils
This book explores the ‘big ideas’ in maths to help trainee teachers confidently teach the curriculum in a way that engages children and focuses on understanding, rather than memory, for those lightbulb moments.
Covering the major concepts in simple terms, whilst carefully linking to the National Curriculum, it shows how they can be used to enable learning and support mathematical mastery.
A focus on explaining misconceptions and errors will strengthen trainees and teachers own mathematical subject knowledge, while also giving them the confidence to deepen their understanding of the children they teach.
Key topics include:
This is essential reading for anyone studying primary mathematics on initial teacher education courses, including undergraduate (BEd, BA with QTS) and postgraduate (PGCE, PGDE, School Direct, SCITT) routes, and also NQTs.
Robert Newell is a tutor in primary education at the UCL Institute of Education, London.
