| Summary Note |
This book offers inspiration and ideas for all training and practising teachers committed to making mathematics enjoyable, inclusive, engaging and successful. The companion to Mike Askew's bestselling book, Transforming Primary Mathematics, this practical guide focuses on showing you how to unlock the powerful potential of a small set of consistent principles and practices, known as the teaching tripod, to develop a coherent approach to teaching mathematics. Organised around the major strands of the curriculum, number, calculations, shape and space, measures, and data handling, it offers an accessible introduction to the teaching tripod (gathering feedback, setting goals, taking action), a careful choice of tasks, supported by a range of tools that extend our natural abilities and held together by careful attention to classroom talk. |
