Have you ever taken your children on a maths walk?
Are your pupils shape detectives?
How to be Inventive When Teaching Primary Mathematics is a pocket guide to inspire primary teachers to become confident, effective, imaginative teachers who enjoy teaching, and whose pupils enjoy learning. It is packed with exciting, creative, unexpected ideas, to help teachers and pupils open their eyes to the mathematical world around them. It gives teachers the tools to develop their own classroom activities and experiences, supporting learners as they move fluently between mathematical ideas and develop their ownership of mathematics
Primary literacy involves many different learning processes, which can make it challenging to teach, particularly in diverse classroom environments. Combining an examination of theory and research with practical case studies and real examples of teaching practice, this book shows trainee and early career teachers how to engage and motivate children to develop a range of primary English skills.
The Grammar of English Ideas - A Re-imagining of English Grammar for Language Teachers
This book is about the current pedagogical grammar of English which is taught on training and degree courses to teachers and then taught by those teachers to learners. It is also about a new pedagogical grammar which should be taught to teachers and taught by them to their learners. The reasons why this new pedagogical grammar is needed will be discussed and demonstrated in Part Three of this book.
