Why don’t children recite their times tables any more? And why does my child look blank - or have a tantrum - when I demonstrate ‘long multiplication’? This book is for mums, dads and grandparents who want to help their children or grandchildren with maths. To do so, many parents find they need to overcome their own rustiness and also to learn the strange new methods and terminology. (Do ‘chunking’, ‘the grid method’, ‘Carroll Diagrams’ and ‘partitioning’ mean anything to you?). Throughout the book are games, puzzles and examples of amusing ways in which kids ingeniously ‘get it wrong’.
Behind the scenes:
Written with Mike Askew, a Professor at King's College University and one of the country’s leading experts on primary maths, who shares my belief in the importance of play (and magic) in maths.
This is probably the only book that has an endorsement from both Joanna Trollope (who is a grandmother) and Sir Peter Williams (who wrote the influential Williams Report on primary maths).
You can order this book on-line from Amazon. |
