An informative text that has been recommended to our first-year students, not only for their assignment for Developing Mathematics but also for their work roles as teaching assistants / early years practitioners. The text enabled our FD Educational Practice students to further explore the misconceptions of mathematics, as well as having a clearer understanding for their pupils working towards mastery on key topics. -- Miss Tracey Canham * drupal *
This is a fantastic book with practical solutions for trainees. WE have adopted this edition for the first year cohort September 2020. -- Mr Chris Ives * drupal *
A lovely book - very well explained. Lots of detailed explanations about mistakes children make. This will be useful for trainee teachers but also students on a Childhood Studies/ Education Degree that has an element of maths education. -- Mrs Nichola Evans * drupal *
