Reviews
I cannot commend this book highly enough. It is an essential addition to any mathematics educator's library. As a teacher educator I know I will refer to it frequently with both beginning teachers and experienced teachers. * Sue Pope, Mathematics Today *
This is likely to be a source of inspiration for teachers and researchers for many years to come. The book is informed by a wealth of research evidence which is fully referenced. * Sue Pope, Mathematics Today *
This combination of book and website is a great resource for any department looking to develop its teaching by addressing the key ideas in school mathematics based on research evidence. * Total Maths *
This is a most impressive book that offers detailed advice on the teaching of mathematics in the secondary sector. * Mark Pepper, Association of Maths Teachers *
