This is a comprehensive handbook for mathematics teachers with practical advice on all aspects of the maths curriculum including developing an effective classroom culture, assessment and progressing mathematical concept development.'It has challenged the way I approach, teach, and even think about maths myself. It is great to read a book written with such passion offering suggestions that anyone can try the next day. The ideas I have tried have been really successful and provided enjoyable and sometimes memorable experiences. The book makes you think, and the challenge is to change not just what you are thinking but what you are actually doing in the classroom and see for yourself what effect it has on the learning taking place' - Zoe Jagelman, KS2 Teacher, St Michael's CE School Bothel.This comprehensive handbook provides mathematics teachers with practical advice on: starting teaching in the mathematics classroom; developing an effective classroom culture; understanding the balance between teaching and learning mathematics; using assessment as an integral part of teaching and learning; and progressing mathematical concept development.This handbook is a must for every mathematics teacher!
