Product Description

Review

"Derek Haylock, the first great teacher of maths that I ever met. This second edition is bang up to date, covering all the maths primary teachers are required to know." 

(Laurie Rousham, Consultant )

"It s a lucid and coherent embodiment of the wisdom of a highly experienced mathematics educator-a book to be returned to again and again by anyone involved in teaching mathematics at this level." 

--Peter Huckstep

Product Description

This new fourth edition of Derek Haylock's much loved textbook has been fully revised and restructured to match the current Attainment Targets for mathematics in England. Every chapter is written in a way that integrates children’s learning, classroom practice and the teacher’s own requirements for subject knowledge, making this the ideal text for primary PGCE courses.

Some of the changes in the new edition include:

• Two new chapters on mathematics in the primary curriculum and learning to learn mathematics

• More prominence given to using and applying mathematics

• Sections matching the attainment targets for mathematics

• More learning and teaching points highlighted throughout the text

• Further material on number, risk, use of ICT, graphs and data-handling.

• A research focus in every chapter.

The companion website (www.sagepub.co.uk/haylock) provides a glossary and additional material to enable primary trainees to prepare with confidence for the ITT Numeracy test, and provides details of how each chapter of the book is linked to the National Curriculum. This will be updated to reflect any updates to the National Curriculum as they are introduced.

Extensively used on primary PGCE courses and undergraduate courses leading to QTS, this bestselling book is an essential resource for all trainee primary teachers.

A companion Student Workbook is also available, which:

• provides self-assessment activities for students to check their understanding of key concepts

• helps students to practise key mathematical processes and to apply mathematics in real-life situations

• gives opportunities to apply their knowledge to teaching and learning.

Brilliant 29 Dec 2001
Format:Paperback
I'm a PGCE maths specialist working with KS 2. This book has helped me to explain in a logical way a wide variety of subjects to the children in my class. My copy is well read and battered and is very much used within my course.

By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Clear, consise and so useful for both background reading and as an information source for any course of study. Each chapter focuses on a particular mathmatical exercise (division, multiplication, percentages etc) and gives basic, easy-to-follow explanations which can then be reproduced into the classroom. Not many maths books keep me fixated but this is one that is definately worth its money.

Good for parents! 11 Sep 2006
Format:Paperback
I was lent this book by my son's teacher because I wanted a better understanding of what he was being taught in maths in order to help him at home. I really enjoyed reading it, revising things I'd forgetten and understanding the current approachs to teaching arithmetic in particular.

It has helped me to practice maths with my children and has also made me more personally appreciative and confident in the subject.
