Getting the Buggers to Add Up 2nd Edition Reviews

'It was a very interesting read with plenty of ideas for use in the mathematics classroom... This book is excellent value and of interest to the NQT as well as the experienced teacher. Get it, read it and put it into practice.' TES 'I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed reading and thinking about this book. I would make staff read it, saving all our INSET budget. It resonates so well with our Teaching and Learning and Behaviour policies that staff, for various reasons, can't, won't, don't always apply... It is very readable and should have a big impact on Maths teaching.' Catherine Sykes, Deputy Headteacher, Gawthorpe High School, Burnley.
