Primary Mathematics Teaching for Understanding - McGraw Hill Education

This important book aims to support and develop teachers' understanding of the key primary mathematics topics. It takes an innovative approach by defining exactly what is meant by 'understanding' and uses this model to examine and explain various mathematical topics.

 

 

The authors emphasize the importance of the different representations that can be used for mathematical concepts and inform the reasoning process. By focusing on understanding, the book also draws attention to common misconceptions that teachers may encounter in the classroom.

 

 

Key features:

• Specific focus on 'understanding' to offer new insights in to how to teach the topics
• Case studies to demonstrate how to communicate mathematical topics in the classroom
• End of chapter questions to stimulate discussion
• The authors integrate research and theory throughout, to highlight core issues. This theoretical background is also linked directly to classroom practice and informs suggestions for how topics can be communicated in the classroom. This offers valuable guidance to trainee teachers on how to teach the topics and presents experienced teachers with the opportunity to develop their subject and pedagogical knowledge.

Poetry From Reading to Writing A Classroom Guide for Ages 7-11 by Robert Hull - Routledge

Poetry – From Reading to Writing covers the process of writing poetry, from reading poems through to writing them. It is intended particularly for teachers at key stage 2 level, but other teachers will also find it valuable. It is clearly and accessibly written and jargon-free.

 

 

In providing a wealth of practical ideas and activities preparing for the writing of poems, the book also stresses the use of talk, improvised drama and the reading and performance of poems. The author, who has published four collections of poetry, uses his own work and the work of others to explore how creative readings of poems can spark a child’s imagination and lead to original writing.

 

 

Pupils are encouraged throughout the book to explore different forms of poetry, including:

• Rhyming and non-rhyming poems
• Riddles
• Short poems
• Haiku, tanka, renga
• Poems from stories
• Free verse
• Narrative poems
• Poems drawing on current affairs and history

 

 

This book can be used by both pupils and teachers, and contains motivating tasks and tips to build pupils’ confidence in poetry writing. Explicit links are made throughout to the latest primary framework for literacy, making this an invaluable resource for all practising and trainee teachers who wish to teach poetry in the classroom in a creative and enjoyable way.

OXFORD Bringing Technology Into the Classroom

There is little doubt that new technologies open up possibilities unheard of in previous eras. But these technologies will have only limited impact if the pedagogy behind their application does not keep pace. Technology is nothing without a teacher and a plan.

 

 

It is probably safe to say that most educated people will have little difficulty understanding technology basics. In fact, nowadays most of us take the ability to use a word processor, write emails, and search the internet for granted. Even if you don’t know how to do such fundamental things as cut and paste text or download a video, there are an infinite number of tutorials available on the internet that will show you how.
