'This original book shows the crucial importance of personal
philosophies of mathematics. Using current research it guides us to
reflect on our attitudes and beliefs. Essential reading for anybody
interested in mathematics and its teaching.' Paul Ernest, Emeritus
Professor of Mathematics Education, University of Exeter Teaching
mathematics can be challenging, and returning to a mathematics
classroom yourself may not inspire you with confidence. This book
can help you to become an assured teacher who can give young
learners the high quality mathematics education that they deserve,
by exploring the philosophy that lies behind good mathematics
teaching and its application in the classroom. Throughout the book
you are encouraged to put your own thoughts on mathematics learning
and teaching under the microscope and examine your perceptions and
understanding in order to develop as a critically reflective
teacher, aware of potential challenges and what underpins effective
mathematics teaching in primary schools. Coverage includes: *
developing your own philosophy towards mathematics teaching *
understanding links between confidence and learning * the
importance of subject knowledge * common beliefs and attitudes
among mathematics learners * how to develop your relationship with
the subject. This is essential reading for all students studying
primary mathematics on initial teacher education courses, including
undergraduate (BEd, BA with QTS), postgraduate (PGCE, School
Direct, SCITT, Teach First) and NQTs. Elizabeth Jackson has over
thirty years' experience of mathematics education through primary
and secondary school teaching, lecturing in initial teacher
education and supervising mathematics Master's dissertations, as
well as conducting research into mathematics and writing.
