This is a book about teaching mathematics in schools. There are
many excellent books about teaching mathematics that are driven by
pedagogy, psychology or research. This book is different. It is
driven by the mathematics that underpins the school mathematics
curriculum, informed by the authors' experiences and opinions. In
the field of pedagogy, there are very few fixed "knowns".
Mathematics, on the other hand, is a well-founded rock. So, the
thoughts and advice provided by Keith Parramore and Joan Stephens
are anchored to that rock. Lessons Learned from Maths Lessons is
based on observations in secondary schools, and many sections are
relevant to primary school mathematics. The authors are a
husband-and-wife team of practising mathematicians, with a wealth
of experience in supporting trainee teachers. They have learned
something new and/or interesting from every mathematics lesson they
have observed. One objective of this book is to share some of that
learning with the reader. A second objective is to promote an
approach to teaching mathematics that empowers pupils and promotes
understanding. Trainee teachers often identify specific topic areas
that they perceive they need to develop. Parramore and Stephens
argue that the greater need is for them to develop depth rather
than breadth, to truly explore the mathematical foundations of what
they are teaching.
