Description
Finding it hard to know what to prioritise as subject lead or how to work out which research is relevant and how it applies to your subject? The How to Lead It series are the go-to guides for primary subject leads in schools and trusts. In them you will find:
- clear summaries of relevant research and thinking around best practice
- age-specific and inclusive classroom examples
- case studies
- reflective questions
- suggestions for short PD sessions with colleagues
Everything in the book is applied thoughtfully to the specific subject area of maths. These books enable busy subject leaders to confidently make good decisions for effective teaching and impactful curricula.
All the key elements of the primary maths curriculum are explored including lesson design, motivation, maths anxiety, assessment, feedback, modelling, the use of manipulatives and representations, developing reasoning and problem solving as well as support on how to approach research and a step-by-step guide to implementing changes in realistic and inclusive ways.
