MATHEMATICS FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS, 7th Edition, helps students develop a deep understanding of the math they will be teaching as elementary school teachers.

This book explores the science inherent in good early years practice and provides a rich range of ideas to inspire you to have a go in your setting.

If you are teaching - or learning - to teach primary science, this is the toolkit to support you!

At last, a unique book that explores and exploits the links between primary mathematics and science so that you can promote learning in both of these important STEM subjects!

This book provides an exceptional insight into how children learn science, as well as which teaching approaches have been found to be most successful.

If you are teaching or learning to teach primary mathematics, this is the toolkit to support you!

This book stems from the authors shared passion for primary mathematics teaching and offers an exploration of contemporary issues facing teachers.

Issues in Teaching Numeracy in Primary Schools is a bestselling guide for all trainee and practising primary school teachers, classroom assistants and mathematics specialist teachers.

This innovative book aims to support schools in shifting teaching and learning in primary science by changing teacher perceptions of where science should be taught.

This book challenges traditional beliefs and practices of teaching 'written' mathematics in early childhood.

Do you lack confidence in teaching the more difficult areas of primary science?

"e;One feature of this book that sets it apart from others is the care that is taken to clarify the authors interpretation of the phrase 'teaching for understanding'.

"e;The book has wide appeal in that the issues investigated - for example, the nature of science, practical work, the role of language, of technology and formative and summative assessment - are relevant and pertinent to science teachers' work in all school systems.

"e;This richly varied text offers generous support for every aspect of the teacher's role, while constantly reminding us that mathematical activity is not a de-contextualised skill that children possess, but part of their identity, their way of being in the world, engaged with the world, energetically - and playfully - trying to make sense of it.

Science in secondary schools has tended to be viewed mainly as a 'practical subject', and language and literacy in science education have been neglected.

Despite the power of words to move minds, appreciating the written or spoken word is rarely thought to be the essence of teaching and learning science and much more effort goes into organizing practical work.

How do young children learn science, design and technology?

This book examines ways in which beliefs and values interact with science and science teaching.

This book takes stock of where we are in science education research, and considers where we ought now to be going.

* What ideas about science do school students form as a result of their experiences in and out of school?

The Pupil as Scientist intends to give teachers and student teachers a better understanding of the thinking of young adolescent pupils in science lessons and to indicate the difficulties such pupils have in understanding the more abstract or formal ideas with which they are presented.

The mistakes children make in mathematics are usually not just mistakes - they are often intelligent generalizations from previous learning.

"e;This book is the third in an important trilogy of edited collections on the teaching and learning of primary mathematics.

This book focuses on the talk of science classrooms and in particular on the ways in which the different kinds of interactions between teachers and students contribute to meaning making and learning.
