I found this book mostly helpful for all Mathematics' teachers. It provides us with amazing ideas to teach effectively as well as helps a teacher understand his students ability or learning level. Though, I cannot make use of all ideas described because of lack of Mathematical equipment on local level, here in Pakistan. The last chapter inspired me so much as it says that without any mental ability differences, we must teach our students without grouping. I appreciate the author : Mike Ollerton's effort for sharing his Mathematics' teaching experiences and ideas.

A good collection of ideas but tends towards a polemical nature when discussing the more unusual ideas.
