Fully updated to reflect the new curriculum, the revised edition of
Transforming Primary Mathematics sets out key theories and
cutting-edge research in the field to enable teachers to take a
fresh look at how they teach mathematics. The book encourages
teachers to reflect on their own beliefs and values about
mathematics, and asks them to question whether their current
methods meet the needs of all learners, and the challenge of having
high expectations for all. It provides clear, practical approaches
to help implement fundamental change in classroom environments, and
offers motivational teaching styles to ensure meaningful
mathematics learning. Chapters take an inspiring, sometimes
controversial, and often unconventional look at the subject of
mathematics, by: endorsing the use of a 'new mathematics' - one
based on problem solving, modelling, inquiry and reasoning, not on
abstract rules, memorising, and regurgitation arguing that there is
more to maths teaching than 'death by a thousand worksheets'
challenging norms, such as the practice of sorting children into
sets based on their perceived mathematical ability asking whether
mathematical ability is innate or a result of social practices
examining what a 'mastery' approach might entail highlighting the
role of variation in supporting learning advocating an environment
where teachers are encouraged to take risks. Transforming Primary
Mathematics is for all primary school teachers who want to make
mathematics welcoming, engaging, inclusive and successful.
