Teaching Primary Mathematics
- Sylvia Turner - University of Winchester, UK
Informed by seminal and current research, and recent developments in education policy, the book also explores:
- the role of mathematics within the primary curriculum
- the development of mathematics as a subject of study
- the knowledge that can be gained from considering international approaches to mathematics.
This is essential reading for all students on primary initial teacher education courses including undergraduate (BEd, BA with QTS), postgraduate (PGCE, SCITT), and School Direct, and employment-based routes into teaching.
Sylvia Turner is Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Education at the University of Winchester.
I have recommended this book for the specialist maths course, as it gives a useful overview of teaching and learning maths.
Good for school based training programmes. Links to current educational policy and theory.
An interesting and easy to follow guide to teaching mathematics in a primary school. This book contains some helpful guidance and good ideas to support classroom practice.
Provides a nice look at wider issues surrounding pimary maths.
A very useful read - covers many important aspects which are relevant to us with the introduction of the Numeracy Framework.
I will be recommending that both undergraduates and graduates purchase this book.
A strong text to support trainees with their primary maths teaching.
A guide that went beyond the concepts of maths - with sections on resourcing and things we can learn from both research and other countries this was a great read.
This is a valuable book for students , giving a good outline of teaching approaches and assessment and planning for mathematics.
An interesting book to give students background information on the teaching of primary mathematics but not being adopted at this stage.
For subject specialist trainees this book gives several topics which can initiate further study in relation to taking on a leadership role, for example leading into studying cross-national research. It would be a good introduction to issues they will need to advise colleagues on such as the use of resources.
