| Summary |
"This book explains the concepts and processes of the mathematics taught in primary schools. It aims to equip primary school teachers with the confidence to provide appropriate and careful explanation of mathematical ideas and procedures to their pupils, with an emphasis on the development of understanding, rather than mere learning by rote." "This book provides a comprehensive, student-tested guide to the mathematics to be taught to children aged 5-11."--BOOK JACKET |
