Teaching Mathematics Visually and Actively
- Tandi Clausen-May - Educational researcher
Accompanying this second edition is a companion website that includes a range of resources for teaching each topic including:
- Dynamic PowerPoint animations which can be used to help learners to develop their understanding of key mathematical concepts
- Posters of each concept
And in addition to all this, each chapter suggests even further links to other useful resources for every topic to enhance your teaching.
With clear explanations and strong visual layout, this is an ideal resource for teachers, SENCOs (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators) and teaching assistants who want to motivate their learners with different and exciting ways of teaching and learning maths.
A very good resource for students on the initial teacher programmes.
The author takes what may be unfamiliar and daunting concepts and skills in maths teaching of mathematics and makes them understandable and do-able. Helps to develop confidence.
I liked this book as it gave clear examples of the basics of maths. However, I was looking for ideas of ways to embed numeracy into the lessons I teach on vocational courses and I felt that the book didn't offer many real life situations. Any real life situations would have been more applicable for me embedding into lessons, rather teaching than primarily maths lessons, despite being in a clear visual way.
This book is good at what it does and I think I would consider using the Clock example as a reminder of fractions, before applying it to a scenario more relevant to my course.
I would suggest it to learners who are resitting Maths GCSE alongside my course.
Interactive and imaginative representatives and activities that can be used to support the development of conceptual understanding in pupils as well as further develop problem solving skils. Many thanks.
Some really good strategies in particular for kinesthetic learners, useful for a wide range of educational and other staff working in inclusive primary school education
An interesting an easy to understand manual that has enabled tutors to adopt different methods of teach mathematics.
Good for students wanting to specialise
This book offers creative and visual resources to support the teaching of mathematics in the classroom. Covers key concepts in mathematical coverage. A stimulating read for both students and experienced teachers alike.
Great book with innovative and creative ideas for teachers/trainee teachers to explore and engage with.
