Primary Mathematics Reflective Reader by Robert Bottle

Primary Mathematics Reflective Reader by Robert Bottle

This book contains extracts from journals and books on key issues surrounding primary mathematics teaching, all of which have been included to prompt reflection on how children learn mathematical concepts and how teachers teach. The extracts lead trainees on from the skills and knowledge of teaching into territories where their beliefs and approaches are challenged.

"Excellent reference material for students starting to move from Foundation to Degree LevelReadability is a real plus" (Education Tutor, East Lancashire Institute of HE)
