Questions and quizzes: Achieve a firm grasp of concepts and a clear understanding with self-assessment questions and quizzes. This means that procedures reflect general practice and standards applicable at the time resources were produced and cannot be assumed to be acceptable today. Lesson Plan Activities by Ralph Manning support content-focused chapters and contain creative mathematics tasks across the primary age range. Of particular use are the ‘teaching points’ sections and links to video explanations and further practice.

He worked for over 30 years in teacher education, both initial and in-service, and was Co-Director of Primary Initial Teacher Training and responsible for the mathematics components of the primary programmes at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich. This giant workbook is packed with fun activities to help children practise their English and Maths skills. Reduce the stress of studying maths and help your child with their homework, following this unique visual guide which will demystify the subject for everyone. This Student Workbook reinforces and applies concepts introduced in Derek Haylock's Mathematics Explained for Primary Teachers.

As well as his publications in the field of education, he has written seven books of Christian drama for young people and a Christmas musical (published by Church House/National Society). The explanation of key terms will enable primary mathematics teachers to navigate their way through the new curriculum document. the student workbook for mathematics is a wonderful accompaniment and I have used this to form some of my lesson plans for the coming half term. The teaching points throughout help to draw relevant links between theory and practice and the self-assessment questions focus on developing teachers’ own content and pedagogical content knowledge. A Student Workbook is also available to accompany this book, including over 700 practice problems to help you understand, apply and teach primary mathematics.During his first in school placement, as he was with yr 6 students, he found this an invaluable resource as he hadn’t studied any primary maths teaching in his first year of study at university. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. There is a growing awareness in primary schools of this book being an asset for all members of staff no matter whether they have two or twenty-two years of classroom experience. Self-assessment questions help check your understanding and provide immediate feedback to see how well you have done. Bond Non-verbal Reasoning 10 Minute Tests for 11+-12+ years have been designed by Bond, the number 1 provider of 11+ practice materials.

The book is written in the accessible and engaging style we have come to expect from Derek Haylock, and is informed by his wealth of experience. Haylock and Manning's latest edition of this publication is still not improved enough in the numeracy section for me to recommend this to students. There are also simple exercises you can complete yourself to test your knowledge after reading each section.I have found this book to be interesting but not necessarily the most helpful to figure out certain methods. There is still a huge reliance in the book of using bare numbers to explain concepts and a lack of use of concrete resources or visuals to demonstrate conceptual understanding and how to teach these concepts effectively to children.

Here is another accessible text from Derek Haylock that supports the development of subject knowledge for student teachers and experienced teachers alike.He has worked as a primary teacher and as a lecturer in primary teacher education for 18 years, following a career in IT.
