Sue Lilley, Specialist TeacherBoth authors draw on their extensive knowledge as teachers of special needs and have compiled a very worthwhile resource designed to identify in detail the strengths and weaknesses of an individual who may be struggling to learn mathematics... -- Nasen SpecialThis is an excellent resource, and I would recommend it for purchase to place in a school's special education library, where many teachers can reference the book to deal with students with intractable problems. Or, a school might decide that one special education teacher would be the "math specialist", who would assess students with serious math disabilities using the assessments, and providing remediation ideas for the child's special educator. -- www.about.comReally this should be titled 'what you always wanted to know about dyscalculia but didn't know what or how to ask...' - At last a book that not only tells you about the problem - but also what to do about it and gives you the tools to do something about it!

If like me you think that dyscalculia is 20-30 years behind dyslexia - this assessment book and accompanying brings it bang up to date. You need to spend some time reading through the guide part it particularly if you are new to the problem or SEN children - but guess what - this is a complex matter that deserves some time spent on it and time spent with this book will pay big dividends.

Book SynopsisMaking Numbers shares exemplars of good practice drawing on the latest research on using manipulatives to develop understanding of arithmetic. Focusing initially on the teaching of numbers from 1-12, Making Numbers progresses to 200 and beyond, including ideas for teaching partitioning, arrays, and times tables.Making Numbers was written by experts with decades of experience in primary mathematics education, Professor Rose Griffi ths, Dr. Sue Gifford and Dr. Jenni Back, based on their Nuffield Foundation funded research and development project Using Manipulatives in the Foundations of Arithmetic.Trade ReviewThis is a visually striking book full of high quality colour photographs of manipulatives for learning maths. The generosity of images makes it extremely accessible. The book presents many practical activities for developing children's understanding of number relationships. These activities are soundly based on up to date research into how children develop number sense. This makes it a must buy - a really supportive, evidence-based resource for all those who teach foundation stage and key stage one classes. * Dr Julie Alderton, Lecturer in Mathematics Education, Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge *This is an excellent book, full of practical ideas to help develop children's understanding of number. The images used show how you can use everyday resources to help develop children's understanding of number without needing to spend lots of money on new resources, and the small snippets of research help you to understand why the activities suggested can help children to understand number. It is written in an easy to read style and can be dipped into and out of, a great tool to help support planning for maths in the EYFS. It even covers trickier concepts such as introducing addition and subtraction, and gives you advice on how to make this meaningful for children to understand. * Caroline Vissani, Early Years Teaching and Learning Specialist *This book should be in every primary school. Correction, in every KS1 and early KS2 classroom. It is full of practical and well-researched guidance on the teaching of number using a wide range of manipulatives and open-ended tasks which prioritise sense-making through discussion. The authors have a solid background in early years mathematics education and explain clearly the research backing up the tasks and the variety of images supported by the different manipulatives. The book is full of colour images making progression clear and gradually builds over successive chapters from working with smaller numbers to the development of images for the division of numbers between 25 and 100. It would be an invaluable resource for Teaching Assistants, SEND teachers and all teachers who want to understand clearly the lines of progression in children's understanding of number and calculation. * Dr Helen J Williams, Primary Mathematics Educational Consultant *Just rereading sections of this fabulous book from the terrific trio that is Rose Griffiths, Jenni Back, and Sue Gifford. Some books you come back to time and time again. * Bernie Westacott, retired Maths teacher and Head of Maths, independent consultant *

Book SynopsisIn Teaching Core Practices in Teacher Education, Pam Grossman and her colleagues advocate an approach to practice-based teacher education that identifies “core practices” of teaching and supports novice teachers in learning how to enact them competently. Examples of core practices include facilitating whole-class discussion, eliciting student thinking, and maintaining classroom norms. The contributors argue that teacher education needs to do more to help teachers master these professional skills, rather than simply emphasizing content knowledge.Teaching Core Practices in Teacher Education outlines a series of pedagogies that teacher educators can use to help preservice students develop these teaching skills. Pedagogies include representations of practice (ways to show what this skill looks like and break it down into its component parts) and approximations of practice (the ways preservice teachers can try these skills out as they learn). Vignettes throughout the book illustrate how core practices can be incorporated into the teacher education curriculum.The book draws on the work of a consortium of teacher educators from thirteen universities devoted to describing and enacting pedagogies to help novice teachers develop these core practices in support of ambitious and equitable instruction. Their aim is to support teacher educator learning across institutions, content domains, and grade levels. The book also addresses efforts to support teacher learning outside formal teacher education programs.
