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.
Thorough revision for the AQA exams These brand new revision guides
contain all the help, guidance and support students need in the
run-up to the 2005 exams, ensuring they achieve the grades they
deserve. The familiar format helps to trigger students' memories,
making revision easier. Key point summaries at the start of each
chapter focus students' minds on what they need to know for the
exam. Worked examples with examiners' hints ensure students are
following the best practice and approach for answering questions
successfully. Practice questions, including a test-yourself section
that references the main textbooks, encourage independent revision.
Written by a Senior Examining Team to make sure students get the
most beneficial advice on tackling their exams. Revision exercises
and an exam-style paper give essential preparation for the AQA
exams.
This text explains in an intuitive yet rigorous way the
mathematical and statistical applications relevant to modern
financial instruments and risk management techniques. It progresses
at a pace that is comfortable for those with less mathematical
expertise yet reaches a level of analysis that will reward even the
most experienced. The strong applied emphasis makes this book ideal
for anyone who is seriously interested in mastering the
quantitative techniques underpinning modern financial decision
making.
