Description and Table of Contents
Description
Designed for mainstream maths teachers, particularly those with responsibility for "whole school" policies, this text should also be useful to special needs teachers in mainstream and special schools. The book falls into three main sections: part 1 looks at different justifications for teaching maths to children with special needs, putting forward economic and egalitarian arguments, as well as considering the value of maths as an enjoyable and satisfying activity for learners. In part 2 the authors consider the control of the teaching and learning of mathematics - how the subject is constructed as it is and how learning is controlled in the classroom. Part 3 examines issues in the learning of maths, including issues in psychology, problem-solving and the relationship between confidence and competence.
