Using resources effectively is key to supporting children′s mathematical learning. This idea is supported by the Primary Strategy, recent initiatives such as Excellence and Enjoyment and the growing emphasis on the need to develop children′s thinking skills. This book explores how teachers can use resources effectively and so aid children in their mathematical problem-solving, reasoning and communication.
"This is an excellent book, filling an important hole in the study of learning and teaching in mathematics" (Senior Lecturer, University of Bedfordshire)
The chapter on ′Do resources matter...′ has provided a source of discussion with trainees and provides some insight into literature in the field and theoretical perspectives. The idea of adopting, adapting or creating resources is implicit within various chapters and therefore consideration of how these support / create an innovative environment can be explored. -- Miss Sarah Wilkes * drupal *
A very useful text for students exploring this important aspect of mathematics teaching. -- Ms Fiona Tidbury * drupal *
