This book sheds light on school mathematics curricula in Asian countries, including their design and the recent reforms that have been initiated. By discussing and analyzing various problematic aspects of curriculum development and implementation in a number of East and South Asian countries and offering insights into these countries’ unique approaches to supplementing school mathematics curricula, it contributes to shaping effective policies for implementation, assessment and monitoring of curricula. The book covers a wide range of issues: curriculum design, localization of curricula, directions of curricular reforms, mathematics textbooks, assessment within the curriculum and teachers’ professional development, which are of interest to a wide international audience.

Sections begin with revision from previous Levels and end with a review chapter. Extensive questions in carefully graded exercises maximise consolidation and build confidence. Each book contains a variety of activities, including skill-developing exercises, practical work and discussion exercises. Large numbers of past-paper questions are included for plenty of examination practice. The books are designed to balance tasks which develop knowledge and understanding, and those which build the skills to tackle and solve mathematical problems.

This book is available with and without answers. Copy Masters enable pupils to spend more time on maths and less on copying and tracing.

Cross-curricular approaches have much to offer the modern mathematics classroom. They can help teachers to present mathematics as a growing, relevant discipline that is central to much of modern life, and help learners to make sense of what they are doing and why.

This book supports trainee teachers working towards primary QTS in how to teach primary mathematics across all areas of the curriculum. Focused on teaching a more integrated and inclusive curriculum, the text draws out meaningful cross curricular links and embraces the latest thinking and current good practice. It begins with a section on teaching mathematics, covering the strands of the curriculum, and goes on to offer guidance on the use and application of mathematics more generally across subjects. The effective use of data is examined, as is using mathematics to enhance learning, and case studies and activities are included throughout.

A popular course written by best-selling authors. The 'B' books compliment the 'A', providing appropriate materials for a second stream of learners. Completely in line with National Curriculum for 2001.

Provides information about a wide range of curricular issues affecting elementary and high school education, exploring methodological and conceptual issues, looking at the forces that shape the curriculum, studying the impact of the curriculum on special groups of students, and discussing conventional subjects like reading and math.

This single-volume reference is designed for readers and researchers investigating national and international aspects of mathematics education at the elementary, secondary, and post-secondary levels. It contains more than 400 entries, arranged alphabetically by headings of greatest pertinence to mathematics education. The scope is comprehensive, encompassing all major areas of mathematics education, including assessment, content and instructional procedures, curriculum, enrichment, international comparisons, and psychology of learning and instruction.
