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.
"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.
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.
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.
"e;With freshness, humour and originality, Sue Gifford demonstrates the interactive strategies that are required to teach mathematics to young children.
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.
