Primary Mathematics: Teaching Theory and Practice
by Mary Briggs, Mike Fletcher, Judith McCullouch, and Claire Mooney
Published 5 July 2001
This course book is an invaluable guide to teaching mathematics in the primary classroom. It is designed for all trainees working towards achieving QTS and thus makes specific links to the initial teacher training National Curriculum as well as the pupils' National Curriculum and the National Numeracy Strategy. It includes classroom scenarios to help trainees make the link between theory and practice as well as ideas for practical activities and summaries of key research.
This book supports trainees on primary initial teacher training courses where a secure knowledge and understanding of mathematics is required for the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). A rigorous test enables trainees to identify their strengths and weaknesses in mathematics and this can be revisited in order to monitor and evaluate progress towards QTS. Trainees are able to direct their studies more usefully and quickly develop confidence in topics they find difficult. This edition is fully up to date with the 2007 QTS Standards.
