This up to date book is essential reading for all those teaching or training to teach primary mathematics. Problem solving is a key aspect of teaching and learning mathematics, but also an area where teachers and pupils often struggle. Set within the context of the new primary curriculum and drawing on research and practice, the book identifies the key knowledge and skills required in teaching and learning problem solving in mathematics, and examines how these and can be applied in the classroom. It explores the issues in depth while remaining straightforward and relevant, emphasises the enrichment of maths through problem-solving, and provides opportunities for teachers to reflect on and further develop their classroom practice.

Industry Reviews

I like the fact that it is focused on problem solving and relates to the new curriculum. The chapters are structured clearly with Key Issues identified early for ease of finding relevant sections. Reflections and questions are useful to direct student teachers toward in being 'active' readers. This will be particularly supportive of specialist student teachers and those who wish to develop more 'open approaches' (a useful section in the book). There is nothing that stands out to dislike.
