Teaching Primary Mathematics

by George Booker, Jack Briggs, Geoff Davey

Text for tertiary students preparing to become primary school teachers, as well as for teachers seeking to upgrade their qualifications. Computational skills are placed within a framework which emphasises understanding of concepts and a linking to a broader body of knowledge. Considerable attention is devoted to geometric ideas and measurements. Teaching problem solving is emphasised, and there is a section on organising and managing mathematics learning. Includes a bibliography and an index.
