Maths Untangled: From Scary to Simple with an Advanced Maths Teacher by Ann Moore
Maths does not have to be confusing or scary. It can be simple and understood by you. This book is your 'no-nonsense' travel guide. I am not a Mathematician. At school, I was no high-flier, not even an also ran. More a back-marker. I appreciate how it felt being the one who did not get it. Helping struggling or disillusioned students UNTANGLE doubt and become less fearful was my passion and driving force as a teacher. To develop my own different creative approaches, to unlock their potential. The key? To build their resilience, self-esteem and confidence and achieve light bulb moments, positive attitude change, and new-found motivation. To gain a realisation it is possible to understand, and yes, even enjoy the subject. My fondest memory is a bottom set student who wanted to be a mechanic and returned to tell me he became one.and returned to tell me he became one.
