Teaching Arithmetic in Primary Schools



November 2012 | 160 pages | Learning Matters
There is a new and increasing emphasis on the importance of teaching arithmetical skills in primary schools. This text outlines what is meant by arithmetic and enables trainee teachers to build their own confidence in teaching arithmetic. It covers all aspects of arithmetic including recall of number facts and traditional pen and paper methods. Each arithmetical approach is illustrated with detailed examples and readers can access their own learning in each area. Guidance on when and where to use different approaches to enhance children's learning is included and interactive activities highlight essential links between theory and practice.

A good outline of basic arithmetic processes. It addresses the issues in the national curriculum while still retaining a wider view of developing children's understanding of number and calculation.

A good supplementary text to support student teachers understanding of teaching arithmetic. It also helps build their subject knowledge.

This is a very helpful book for primary teachers, focused on calculation. In the light of the current curriculum proposals beign made law, I am concerned that it will be effectively "blacklisted" by government-backed CPD and ITT promoters, but I, for one, would support the need for this text, which deals honestly with the real needs children have in learning calculation.
