If you are training to be a primary school teacher you need to have, and demonstrate, a clear understanding of primary mathematics. This companion text to the popular Teaching Arithmetic in Primary Schools enables you to audit your knowledge, skills and understanding, making you more aware of the subject and the areas you need to develop further.
It includes:
  • self audits on all areas of calculations, supporting trainees to meet the Teachers' Standards

  • advice on next steps for further learning under each chapter
If you're a trainee primary school teacher, this resource, along with its companion title will provide you with all the guidance and support needed to develop your Primary Maths subject knowledge and teaching skills.

A very straightforward book perfectly placed to inform new trainee teachers. The case studies and examples of misconceptions are particularly helpful and the scenarios can be shared in seminars on the teaching of calculation so that students can reflect and relate to their own experiences in school.

It was considered that whilst this book was written very well, the level was not suitable for young adults.
