Review
" ... This book is excellent value and of interest to the NQT as well as the experienced teacher. Get it, read it and put it into practice." TES
"I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed reading and thinking about this book. I would make staff read it, saving all our INSET budget. It resonates so well with our Teaching and Learning and Behaviour policies that staff, for various reasons, can't, won't, don't always apply." Catherine Sykes, Deputy Headteacher, Gawthorpe High School, Burnley.
It is well written, speaks directly and passionately to its intended audience and uses the author's real-life experiences of being a mathematics teacher...to support his beliefs about the nature of mathematics...I recommend the book to all practising mathematics teachers and their senior managers, to trainee teachers and their teacher, in whatever route.Anne Sinkinson, Journal of Education for Teaching
This book is rooted in experience within some pretty tough teaching environments and the author emphasises the importance of activities which will capture the attention and imagination of the modern teenager... I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who teaches in a modern comprehensive school.Mark Thornber, The Mathematical Gazette
'Getting the Buggers to Add Up is a mixture of Mike's insights, experiences and opinions regarding the teaching and organising of mathematics in secondary schools. Ideas are fast-flowing for making mathematics teaching both fun and relevant for students. Areas such as teaching mathematics through real life...are backed up with practical ideas and examples that leave you itching to get back into the classroom and try them out. There is something in this book for everyone....Some well thought through philosophy and interesting political opinion make this a great read.' ~ Nat Parnell, The Teacher, November 2006 (Nat Parnell Teacher Magazine)
