Using an interactive approach to teaching mathematics, this resource shows not only what strategies work but also why they work.Using an interactive approach to teaching mathematics, this resource shows not only what strategies work but also why they work.'Nick Pratts book looks in detail at the real meaning of teaching mathematics interactively in primary schools. Each section is set clearly within a context, is linked by key ideas  the important bits to think about  and is summarised to give a succinct close to the chapters content and thinking. It is a book that the reader will definitely find useful and thought provoking. It certainly made me consider how small changes and a wider variety of approaches in the classroom can make big changes in childrens learning and understanding of mathematical concepts' - Mike Eatwell, Primary Maths Advisor, Bristol LEAWhat This Book Is About...
