Children Doing Mathematics provides a reliable and up to date review of the substantial recent work in children’ mathematical understanding. The authors also present important new research on children’s understanding of number, measurement, arithmetic operation and fractions both in and out of school. The central theme of Children Doing Mathematics is that there are crucial conditions for children’s mathematical learning. Firstly, children have to come to grips with conventional mathematical systems. Secondly, but equally important, they have to be able to present math

With reports from several studies showing the benefits of teaching young children about morphemes, this book is essential reading for anyone concerned with helping children to read and write. By breaking words down into chunks of meaning that can be analyzed as complete units rather than as strings of individual letters, children are better able to make sense of the often contradictory spelling and reading rules of English. As a result, their enjoyment of learning about words increases, and their literacy skills improve. Written by leading researchers for trainee teachers, practising tea

People who learn to solve problems ’on the job’ often have to do it differently from people who learn in theory. Practical knowledge and theoretical knowledge is different in some ways but similar in other ways - or else one would end up with wrong solutions to the problems. Mathematics is also like this. People who learn to calculate, for example, because they are involved in commerce frequently have a more practical way of doing mathematics than the way we are taught at school. This book is about the differences between what we call practical knowledge of mathematics - that is st

During the last decade the business world has been thrown into turmoil: stagnation, inflation, deflation, record interest rates, redeployment, deregulation, record bankruptcies, multiple tax laws, foreign competition, market volatility. One long- standing objective which has emerged from the turbulence and turmoil as primordial is that of building and maintaining a sound balance sheet. This book sets out a program, the strategic element of which is the adaptation of the balance sheet to promoting efficient operating profitability, where earnings will be of tangible (not illusory) quality. The
