Synopsis
The National Numeracy Strategy is the British version of the international concern about standards of mathematical achievement in schools. The authors diagnose knowledge application as the root of math literacy problems; but rather than prescribing best practices, they study a dozen primary school teachers as they developed ways of teaching math for application in the context of theories of learning. Lessons are also taught from the whole class teaching approach used in Japan. Hughes is an education professor at the U. of Bristol; his coauthors are with the U. of Exeter. Distributed in the US by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
