Jo's hand shot up and he immediately responded, 'Well seven is all straight lines and sixes are all curly.' \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow can teachers help children to make progress in mathematical understanding? \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChildren's mathematical misconceptions very often arise as a result of poor communication. This practical and innovative book presents a range of creative strategies to help teachers communicate effectively in the mathematics classroom, offering some new ways of presenting the fundamental concepts and principles of mathematics, and clearly demonstrating that the most effective form of communication is not always verbal. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach chapter focuses on a theme or concept central to the numeracy strategy, such as subtraction, shape and space, constructing and connecting 2D and 3D shapes, data-logging and graph interpretation, and mathematical reasoning. Each chapter supports teachers' subject knowledge as well as suggesting a range of communication strategies (for example speaking, listening, drawing, role play, and visual methods such as posters and ICT work) to help teachers and children to share and build on their understanding. All of the activities have been tried and tested in classrooms across Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten by a team of highly experienced teachers, the book will be valuable reading for anyone who has an interest in extending the ways children actively engage with mathematics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Cockburn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1412945062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781412945066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sage Publications Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.51h x 8.35w x 0.31d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anne Cockburn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447579783423,"sku":"9781412945066","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_95f6dcf4-45a8-464a-bd6c-e28f4fe20a4d.jpg?v=1777233632","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mathematical-understanding-5-11-anne-cockburn-9781412945066","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
