Many trainee teachers feel ill-equipped to tackle primary maths teaching and say that when they studied maths themselves, they resorted to learning rules and methods that they managed to carry out to pass exams, but didn’t understand. Likewise, many often feel they aren’t helping children to understand maths, but simply doing their best to teach children techniques that they are required to know.

The earlier that autism is diagnosed and treated in children, the better outcomes they will experience for future relationships and careers. However, most children aren’t detected and diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) until around age four, with children from economically disadvantaged or minority backgrounds detected and diagnosed up to two years later, on average.
Since our founding in 1965, Sage has passionately advocated for the social sciences. Sage has developed a high-quality portfolio of journals across the social science disciplines, publishing the work of many leading authors, researchers and societies across the field, disseminating their research globally and nurturing emerging disciplines such as urban affairs and behavioural science.
