Description
“Supporting Mathematical Thinking has been written to celebrate the enormous amount of work taking place in mainstream classrooms to promote inclusive approaches by mathematics specialists. I enjoyed reading this book and feel that this will be a very useful teaching resource to help in planning learning and finding creative ways of developing mathematical thinking among pupils.” Support for Learning, February 2006 “Altogether I enjoyed this book much more than I had expected. Not only did it provide exhilaration, it seemed to sketch out an agenda for future work.” Child Language Teaching and Therapy 22.2 (2006) This book looks at how practitioners have focused on the fully educational application of intellect to the problem of developing mathematical thinking among one’s pupils. Each chapter demonstrates reflective minds at work, relying on close observation, willingness to understand the student’s thinking processes and patient commitment to students over long periods of time.
