To what extent do curriculum subjects, particularly highly abstract ones such as Mathematics, have their own unique special needs?

This book celebrates the work done by subject specialists in mainstream classrooms to promote inclusive practice. It describes new and creative ways of developing mathematical thinking among pupils. Each chapter demonstrates reflective minds at work, close observation of learners, willingness to understand the students' thinking process and patient commitment to students over long periods of time.

Features of the book include:

how low-attaining students can think mathematically
numeracy recovery
task refusal in primary mathematics
progression in written calculation strategies for division
using graphic calculators with low-attaining pupils
generalising arithmetic: an alternative to algebra
learning support assistants in mathematics lessons
inclusion and entitlement, equality of opportunity and quality of curriculum provision.

Industry Reviews

"Supporting Mathematical Thinking has been written to celebrate the enormous amount of work taking place in mainstream classrooms to promote inclusive approaches by mathematics specialists. I enjoyed reading this book and feel that this will be a very useful teaching resource to help in planning learning and finding creative ways of developing mathematical thinking among pupils." Support for Learning, February 2006 "Altogether I enjoyed this book much more than I had expected. Not only did it provide exhilaration, it seemed to sketch out an agenda for future work." Child Language Teaching and Therapy 22.2 (2006)
