Drawing upon accounts of real classroom experiences, it clearly explains how these can be related to key theoretical ideas and offer:

discussion of theory and research into the teaching and learning of mathematics;

background to current curriculum and assessment arrangements for mathematics in schools;

practical ideas for planning and evaluating the learning of your pupils;

background to the requirements for initial teacher training and insights into how you can develop continuously as a reflective teacher.

This resource has been written for students and newly qualified teachers of secondary mathematics and school-based mentors.
