""One feature of this book that sets it apart from others is the
care that is taken to clarify the authors' interpretation of the
phrase 'teaching for understanding'. Each component of this
interpretation - connections, representations, reasoning,
communication and misconceptions - is then successfully
incorporated as a theme in the subsequent chapters that develop
important mathematical topics."
Ian Thompson, Visiting Professor at Edge Hill University and
Northumbria University, UK"
This important book aims to support and develop teachers'
understanding of the key primary mathematics topics. It takes an
innovative approach by defining exactly what is meant by
'understanding' and uses this model to examine and explain various
mathematical topics.
The authors emphasize the importance of the different
representations that can be used for mathematical concepts and
inform the reasoning process. By focusing on understanding, the
book also draws attention to common misconceptions that teachers
may encounter in the classroom.
Key features: Specific focus on 'understanding' to offer new
insights in to how to teach the topics Case studies to demonstrate
how to communicate mathematical topics in the classroom End of
chapter questions to stimulate discussion The authors integrate
research and theory throughout, to highlight core issues. This
theoretical background is also linked directly to classroom
practice and informs suggestions for how topics can be communicated
in the classroom. This offers valuable guidance to trainee teachers
on how to teach the topics and presents experienced teachers with
the opportunity to develop their subject and pedagogical
knowledge.
