About this book

Written by experienced teacher educator and author, Tony Cotton, and two Australian primary teachers, Jess Greenbaum and Michael Minas, Understanding and Teaching Primary Mathematics in Australia combines pedagogy and mathematics subject knowledge to build teachers' confidence both in their mathematical subject knowledge and in their ability to teach mathematics effectively.

The book covers all the key areas of the Australian Curriculum for mathematics from teaching number and calculation strategies to exploring geometry and statistics. There are also chapters that deal with the teaching of mathematics in the Early Years, inclusive approaches to mathematics teaching and teaching mathematics using ICT.

Stimulating, accessible and containing a wealth of practical ideas for use in the classroom, Understanding and Teaching Primary Mathematics in Australia is an essential text for graduate and practicing teachers alike.
