helpful for filling in the gaps in knowledge and understanding
This text has always been useful but in its updated form it now retains currency. Students have found this book very helpful - especially those who may have found Maths challenging in their own school days!

An excellent text that is essential for all primary teaching students.
Clearly set out chapters with self assessments that allow students to keep track of their own developing subject knowledge.
