Low Attainers in Primary Mathematics
Investigates why so many children opt out of maths at an early age. Raising maths performance is a key government objective. Highly readable observation of children in primary schools. Includes practical implications for classroom practice. Teachers will recognise the descriptions of the 'I don't know' children and the 'maths fairy .
Listening Counts
Children learn about numbers by talking and doing. This book offers closely observed accounts of what children in their early years and at primary school say and do. Some arise from classrooms; others are based on interviews and day-to-day interactions. Together they illuminate the learning, and therefore the teaching, of mathematics to young children. The first chapters look at early mathematical development at home and show how parents and grandparents can enhance learning. A study of a elementary school class responding to fractions illustrates how the children listen to each other's ideas. A group of children considered to have challenging behavior discuss what helps and hinders their le...
Supporting Mathematical Thinking
To what extent do curriculum subjects, particularly highly abstract ones such as Mathematics, have their own unique special needs? This book celebrates the work done by subject specialists in mainstream classrooms to promote inclusive practice. It describes new and creative ways of developing mathematical thinking among pupils. Each chapter demonstrates reflective minds at work, close observation of learners, willingness to understand the students’ thinking process and patient commitment to students over long periods of time. Features of the book include: how low-attaining students can think mathematically numeracy recovery task refusal in primary mathematics progression in written calculation strategies for division using graphic calculators with low-attaining pupils generalising arithmetic: an alternative to algebra learning support assistants in mathematics lessons inclusion and entitlement, equality of opportunity and quality of curriculum provision.
Listening Figures
This book is firmly based on listening to people in secondary schools and beyond as they go about discovering, learning. and doing mathematics. Chapters report on what is gained by listening to school students, undergraduates, and adult learners. Sometimes the listening is informal; sometimes it is based on mathematics lessons or interviews. The accounts are used as models on which to base discussion of issues about mathematical understanding and about the views held about mathematics and approaches to it. Listening Figures is immensely useful for secondary teachers, classroom assistants, adult numeracy tutors and lecturers, and for people preparing for these roles. Teachers of mathematics will be encouraged by the examples here to consider the place of learners' voices in their own future teaching. Many of the chapters are based on empirical research and will be of particular interest to teachers carrying out small scale research projects of their own.
Low Attainers in Primary Mathematics
In this fascinating book, Jenny Houssart draws on close observations with children in lower mathematics sets in primary schools to investigate why some children opt out of mathematics at an early age. After introducing us to the children, she addresses a particular type of mathematical task in each chapter, including: mental work practical work written work calculators and computers assessment tasks. Through the use of stories and quotes, the author shows how the children respond to specific tasks and presents evidence of a range of difficulties that emerge as the children are working. Each chapter ends with discussions and implications for classroom practice. Low Attainers in Primary Mathematics will be a useful resource for primary teachers, student teachers, SENCOs and teaching assistants who will all recognise these children from their own classrooms and draw insights from this highly readable book.
Compendium for Early Career Researchers in Mathematics Education
The purpose of this Open Access compendium, written by experienced researchers in mathematics education, is to serve as a resource for early career researchers in furthering their knowledge of the state of the field and disseminating their research through publishing. To accomplish this, the book is split into four sections: Empirical Methods, Important Mathematics Education Themes, Academic Writing and Academic Publishing, and a section Looking Ahead. The chapters are based on workshops that were presented in the Early Career Researcher Day at the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-13). The combination of presentations on methodological approaches and theoretical pe...
Primary Teaching Assistants Curriculum in Context
Teaching assistants are uniquely placed to support children's involvement with learning through the curriculum. This book explores those issues that are central to that process. Specifically it examines: strategies for supporting learning and assessment in English, maths and science inclusive and imaginative practices in all areas of learning home and community contexts for learning working practices which support professional development. This book is written primarily for learning support sta.
Contemporary Issues in Primary Education
This book was developed as part of the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the founding of the journal Education 3–13, which has always had primary education as its main focus. The journal has been published by Routledge since 2007 and is the most important academic publication in the field internationally. This book has been edited by a team of academics and senior practitioners, all of whom are members of the Board of the journal or the Association for the Study of Primary Education (which is the owning body of the journal). It will serve as an excellent resource to researchers and students of primary education. Topics include major contemporary issues such as key challenges in the field, learning and teaching, wellbeing, teachers’ work and professionalism, and outdoor learning. The chapters in this book comprise articles published in Education 3–13 in the last ten years.
Mathematics Education
This book focuses on the issues surrounding researching mathematics education, in particular the notion of the culture of the mathematics classroom, communication in mathematics classrooms and pupils' and teachers' perceptions.
Dialogic Education and Technology
This book empowers people to go beyond themselves into new spheres of learning, thinking and creativity. Drawing on recent work in communications theory as well as psychology, computer science and philosophy, it reveals some key characteristics of learning dialogues. It also demonstrates ways in which computers and networks can deepen, enrich and expand such dialogues. The book’s central argument is that this dialogic perspective in education and the latest developments in information and communications technology make ideal partners.
