Full Description
Now in its second edition, Primary Mathematics continues to provide a comprehensive introduction to teaching and learning mathematics in today's classrooms. With links to both the Australian and New Zealand curricula, this book covers the core learning areas of measurement, space and geometry, early number concepts, data and statistics, chance and probability, and patterns and algebra. Primary Mathematics encourages the integration of technology into a pedagogically sound learning sequence for primary mathematics, and provides teachers with detailed activities and examples to cater for the mathematical needs of all learners. The book comes with free twelve-month access to Cambridge HOTmaths, a popular, award-winning online tool with engaging multimedia to help students and teachers learn and teach mathematical concepts.
