Numeracy for Teaching
- Derek Haylock - Education Consultant
This book is designed to help teacher-trainees prepare for the Qualified Teaching Standards numeracy test that must now be passed by all entrants to the teaching profession. The author focuses especially on weaknesses in numeracy often observed in adults, and in teacher-trainees in particular.
`Any trainee worried about the test should find this a useful resource…. As in similar books by Derek Haylock, the mathematical content is written in a clear and accessible style' - Mike Askew, Times Educational Supplement
`A very helpful resource for students who are obliged to succeed in passing the QTS numeracy test in order to gain QTS. It should provide a valuable resource for students to increase their confidence as well as their competence' - Mathematics in Schools
This is not a traditional text book that you read in order to gain knowledge. It is an identification of recognised student weakness and consequent correction through assessment. The value of this book is as a source of aplicable assessment material with answers and methods provided. The target audinece is clearly the trainee numeracy teacher.
I didn't feel the book followed the National Curriculum, will use for some lessons.
