Product Description

Review

"This book offers both a fantastic insight and vision for developing a creative classroom which encourages active engagement, collaboration, choice and learner-driven feedback.

The authors show that in promoting a creative learning environment you can encourage richer conceptions of learning and the development of a learning community that enables children to make plans, review their experiences which then enhances their predictive and analytical abilities and develop a sense of responsibility for themselves and the choices they make." - Glenys Ingham, Headteacher at Myatt Garden Primary School, London, UK

"With dramatic flair, Trisha Lee and Linda Pound combine their unique knowledge of theatre and education to demonstrate new ways of teaching maths. And guess what? It's all about telling stories and acting out ideas, just the thing children love to do. Page by page, the authors show us how to trust a playful approach and join the children in imagining a life of mathematical thinking." - Vivian Gussin Paley

"Teaching Mathematics Creatively is a valuable resource for mathematics education researchers at the elementary school level. Recommended. "—Choice

Some great ideas 18 Sep 2011
By David H
Format:Paperback
Some great ideas for primary teachers and useful arguments but would benefit from more practical examples that could be used in the classroom.

Was this a Dissertation? 19 Jan 2011
By Mary - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
A very condensed book for $111+. I thought it would be filled with ideas of how to teach creatively -- after all, that was the title. Primary grades like ideas and pictures, not word after word after word, page after page. I ended up returning the book.

Creative teaching is an art. One cannot teach teachers didactically how to be creative; there is no fail safe recipe or routines. Some strategies may help to promote creative thinking, but teachers need to develop a full repertoire of skills which they can adapt to different situations. &quote;
