Transforming Primary Mathematics: A Practical Guide is a
companion volume to Mike Askew s hugely successful "Transforming
Primary Mathematics," and provides an evidence-based approach to
teaching and learning mathematics that takes research and
transforms it into practical classroom resources. By focusing on a
small set of consistent principles and practices, this book will
help teachers to develop a coherent approach to teaching
mathematics that will give them the knowledge and insight to select
and adapt other resources to their classroom.
This practical guide aims to develop the teaching tripod themes
of tasks, talk and tools. By packing each of these through a
collection of classroom activities that are organised around the
major strands of the curriculum (including number, calculations,
shape and space, measures, data handling), the following objectives
are addressed:
- Helping primary school teachers (in-service or in initial
education courses) appreciate the importance of careful
coordination of tasks, tools and talk in support understanding of
mathematics;
- Providing practical classroom examples that support teachers in
developing their understanding of the 'teaching tripod' through
using this in the classroom;
- Assisting teachers to appreciate the need for a coherent and
consistent approach to teaching and learning mathematics that goes
across the primary years and provides a sound foundation for later
learning;
- Showing how the activities and suggestions here are grounded in
research that has demonstrated an impact on pupil learning.
Written by an author with experience of primary teaching but
also with over twenty years of experience as both a producer and
consumer of research in mathematics education, this book will be of
use to both practicing teachers and those on undergraduate and
post-graduate courses, as well as primary school mathematics
leaders."
