Description

Some students think mathematically. They have the curiosity to notice relationships, the confidence to ask why, and the knowledge to understand the answer. In this book, Craig Barton, maths teacher and best-selling author of How I Wish I'd Taught Maths, offers an approach to help all our students think mathematically. It requires the careful sequencing of questions and examples, the role of the teacher, and the mathematical behaviour of our students.

Additional Information

Many others just "do" maths. They look at a question, think about how to answer it, answer it, and then move on. This approach has transformed Craig's teaching, drawing upon two years of developing this method with teachers and students around the world. However, not everyone agrees, and it has led to Craig being labelled as "the most dangerous and clueless man in maths education". If that is not a recommendation to keep reading, I don't know what is.
