Transforming Teaching

Transforming Teaching shares the successes and the problems that were solved by a diverse group of educators during the global pandemic. The shared stories from around the globe will help and inspire any teacher to develop skills to support blended learning in whatever teaching situation they find themselves. Including lessons to be learned from Kindergarten to University, this book introduces new ways of working and pedagogical approaches appropriate for developing global skills. It importantly focuses on teacher narratives to aid personal reflection and encourages readers to take responsibility for their own professional development. Each chapter prompts teachers to reflect and build on new skills developed through distance and blended learning, use of technology and new ways of relating to students. Responding to an educational need at a time of crisis, this book is essential reading to all who are interested in the future potential of education and those who want to shape future emerging practice.

Mathematics in Early Years Education

This third edition of the best-selling Mathematics in Nursery Education provides an accessible introduction to the teaching of mathematics in the early years. Covering all areas of mathematics learning – number and counting, calculation, pattern, shape, measures and data handling – it summarises the research findings and underlying key concepts and explains how adults can help children to learn through practical experiences, discussion and more direct intervention.  This new edition has been fully updated to incorporate the latest research and thinking in this area and includes:    why mathematics is important as a way of making sense of the world   how attitudes to mathematics can influence teaching and learning   how children learn mathematics   new material on sorting, matching and handling data    ideas for observation and questioning to assess children’s understanding   examples of planned activities   suggestions for language development   assessment criteria.   This textbook is ideal for those training to be teachers through an undergraduate or PGCE route, those training for Early Years Professional Status and those studying early childhood on foundation or honours degrees as well as parents looking to explore how their young children learn mathematics. This will be an essential text for any Early Years practitioner looking to make mathematics interesting, exciting and engaging in their classroom.

Teaching Secondary Mathematics as if the Planet Matters (Teaching... as if the Planet Matters)

‘This book moves us beyond a theoretical pondering of the issues and makes concrete suggestions for teachers and students for how things can be different in mathematics classrooms. This is long overdue.’ Peter Gates, University of Nottingham Teaching Mathematics as if the Planet Matters explores how Mathematics teachers can develop approaches to curriculum and learning which help students understand the nature of the contemporary world. It sets out a model for teaching and learning that allows teachers to examine existing approaches to teaching and draw upon the insights of mathematics as a discipline to help students relate classroom mathematics to global issues such as climate change, the economy, food supplies, biodiversity, human rights, and social justice.  Including practical examples, suggestions for teaching activities and detailed further reading sections, the book covers:   the mathematics of description in the measuring, recording and statistical analysis that informs our knowledge of climate change, consumption and sustainability;   the mathematics of prediction in the modelling used by governments, scientists and businesses to plan roads, power stations and food supplies and their effects;   the mathematics of communication in the news reports, blogs and environmental campaigns, incomplete without graphs, charts and statistics.  The true worth of a school subject is revealed in how far it can account for and respond to the major issues of the time. The issue of the environment cuts across subject boundaries and requires an interdisciplinary response. Mathematics teachers are part of that response and they have a crucial role in helping students to respond to environmental issues and representations.
