Taylor & Francis How to Recognise and Support Mathematical Mastery
Book SynopsisThis book explains how young children develop mathematically in their earliest years and shows the support and teaching needed by adults to accelerate their progress and attainment, helping them master mathematical concepts and skills. The practical guidance has been carefully developed over a number of years and is based on research undertaken with primary schools in Sheffield as part of the 'Talk for Maths Mastery' initiative. It recognises that childrenâs mathematical development is embedded within child-led play and connected to deeper levels of thinking and wider dispositions for learning. Maths is happening everywhere at any moment; we just need to keep an open mind, open eyes, and listen.Including case studies, links to practice and reflective questions, the chapters reveal what mastery orientation looks like from the childrenâs perspective in their learning and covers: childrenâs serve and return conversational talk mathemTrade Review"With an excellent layout and indexing, appendices of ready to use practical tools, real life learning ‘stories’, and full colour photographs, this is essential reading for early years practitioners looking to develop mathematical mastery in their work with the youngest students. I particularly liked the concept of the ‘Maths is everywhere’ audit, encouraging adults to see that maths can happen anywhere, at any time. This book would make an excellent addition to the Continuing Professional Development library of any primary school." - Helen Emery, The School Librarian Table of Contents1.

There is much here to remind us about the purpose and wonder of learning as a truly collective endeavor. I recommend this work to you and hope that as you are guided through the text by Staricoff you discover much that resonates with your existing philosophy and even more that spurs you not only to be inspired but to act.’ Dame Alison Peacock, Chief Executive of The Chartered College of Teaching ‘The Joy of Not Knowing provides readers with a philosophically informed festival of teaching ideas and strategies to fundamentally rethink how to inspire and foster the curiosity of learners. Whether you are an experienced school leader, or a beginning professional engaged in initial teacher education, this book offers a thought-provoking guide to unleashing a radical classroom culture of engagement in uncertainty and nurturing a commitment to lifelong learning.

The school playground plays a crucial role in developing all aspects of childrenâs behaviour and interpersonal learning, and yet there is a growing awareness that children today do not play in the same sociable ways as previous generations. Encouraging children to play games can be hugely beneficial not only for their physical health but also for their social, emotional and mental health. This brilliant resource includes a practical toolkit of photocopiable and downloadable materials along with clear instructions for adults on how to organise a range of different types of games, including: â traditional gamesâ chasing and catching gamesâ singing and dancing gamesâ skipping games and rhymesâ parachute gamesâ quiet gamesâ co-operative gamesIdeal for teachers, lunchtime supervisors, breakfast and after school club leaders as well as group leaders for organisations such as scouts or guides to promote lively and enjoyable games, this book is particularly suited to children aged 5â11 years but can easily be adapted for older children. 101 Playground Games is a book that will make any playtime a richer experience for all.Trade Review"A fantastic resource to pep up the playground with fresh ways to think about play. The children love the games and so do the adults!"Mrs Alexandra Norton, Headteacher, Bilton Church of England Junior School."This is the ultimate playground games bible for educational settings! It is full of fun, enriching and easy to implement activities and expert advice on the benefits of encouraging young children to play. Using this book in my setting has created a positive atmosphere by empowering pupils, boosting self-confidence and inevitably enhancing the health and wellbeing of the school community."Sam Yeomans, Teacher, Hurst Green Primary School."This is a truly amazing book, full of games to engage and inspire the children and lunchtime team to have a happy and enjoyable playtime."John Wilson, Senior Play Leader."I recommend that each school should have a Thérèse Hoyle on its staff, to ensure that children have access to the joy and learning contained in this outstanding book. Reading her superb and comprehensive book about playground games, has awakened my imagination, which has run wild, as I have remembered the pleasures of the playground games experienced during my own childhood. I became an eight-year-old again playing, ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf?’ at Lethbridge Road Primary School in Swindon. Characters from my childhood were remembered, as I saw myself playing ‘stuck in the mud’. Thank you Thérèse! During my long career as an educator, I have had the privilege of visiting what now must amount to thousands of schools in many parts of the world. I have learned much from my visits but most of all I have learned of the importance of play as the foundation of the curriculum in Primary Schools. What I consider to be the best schools, give a range of first-hand experiences to children, which include four golden keys: being immersed in experiencing and understanding nature, leaning about values, realising the importance of developing and maintaining relationships and experiencing the joy of play. These four keys, result is a human being who is truly educated: observant, curious, knowledgeable, altruistic, compassionate, joyful and playful. Not all children live in families and communities that encourage games, perhaps because living conditions are not conducive for outdoor group games. It is therefore so very important that schools provide adequate time and resources for playground games. In some schools, playtime has been reduced to concentrate more on the so-called formal curriculum. This, in my opinion, is a huge educational mistake and an assault on children and their natural development. With the demands of social distancing during social and health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, schools have to be even more imaginative to enable children to experience the richness of playground games. Thérèse’s unique book is a must have book for schools and a wonderful resource for families and community groups working with children."Dr. Neil Hawkes, Founder of Values-based Education."Children’s play is a profoundly important part of their lives – socially, emotionally, culturally and developmentally. If they are given enough space, it also happens to be very good for their physical health and fitness. Play is nowhere more important than at school, where children spend such a large amount of time. The counter-balancing freedom and autonomy after the order and discipline of the classroom, the chance to let off steam, but also the opportunity to explore and develop vital social skills have been a key function of playtime since children have been going to school. Playground games are an important part of this tradition and a give us a fascinating insight into the world of the child. Like children themselves, these games are complex and simple, spontaneous and highly ordered, metaphorical and extremely literal. Most of all they are huge fun. Their decline is a sad indictment of the skewed priorities we place on the modern child. I welcome this book and commend it to parents and teachers everywhere."Adrian Voce, OBE Former Play England Director, advocate for children’s play and author of Policy for Play."This new edition of 101 Playground Games is a brilliant resource! For anyone who works with children, this book provides a plethora of fun playground games, old and new, to teach children, all of which have been tried and tested! The book is broken into categories of games including traditional, tag, skipping, circle, singing and dancing games, and quiet games. As well as clear ‘how to play’ instructions, each game has information on time taken to play, age range, ideal numbers and any equipment needed... An excellent and practical tool for anyone working with nursery and primary-age children." - Stephen Leitch, The School LibrarianTable of ContentsUsing the Online Resource Dedication Acknowledgements Foreword by Dr. Neil Hawkes Introduction Why Encourage Children to Play Games?
