Lessons in Teaching Number and Place Value in Primary School

Trainee teachers often seek examples of effective teaching of number in primary schools. There are many lesson descriptions and resources available for teaching number, but are they any good? How do they support trainees' wider learning? Where can trainees find quality lesson examples, underpinned by theory, written by ITT tutors? This book provides them. It takes exemplar lessons and offers them alongside a detailed exploration of what makes them good, and the theory behind them. The text encourages trainees to consider the teaching of number critically and to envisage how they can shape lessons for their own teaching. In starting with teaching then exploring theory, the text mirrors how many trainees will learn.
