A Creative Approach to Teaching Calculation by Josh Lury

Calculations are the gateway to outstanding learning in mathematics, but many people struggle with the step-by-step procedures of calculation methods. This book motivates learners by using pattern, practical hands-on and real-world activities that engage the curiosity, and the innate mathematical ability, of pupils and teachers. The material is addressed to teachers, and takes into account recent developments in teaching and the new Primary curriculum. It is based around practical classroom activities, with clear and concise explanations of the power of different calculation methods and images. It is designed to be quickly accessible to teachers who want to find engaging activities for their pupils.

This is a little jewel of a book which is crammed full of intriguing and accessible problems, puzzles and investigationsActivities are chosen carefully that will help children understand maths as a subject which is about looking for relationships and patterns and making sense of numbers. It supports teachers to teach children to manipulate, visualise and think with key models, such as the array and number line and to communicate about the mathematical connections they are making. -- Julie Alderton, Faculty of Education Cambridge University
