About this Item

"This book highlights the essential relationship between lesson planning and key mathematical elements such as mastery and reasoning. The exemplification of ideas through useful classroom strategies gives the book a practical basis, as well as theoretical.  I have no doubt that even experienced teachers will find this book enlightening and encourage them to re-evaluate elements of their practice."Hayley Hands, Secondary PGCE Mathematics Lead, Newcastle University, UK"Developing Maths Lesson Planning and Frameworks provides much food for thought and includes many immediate 'take aways' to reflect on or try out. This book will help enhance any maths teacher's lesson planning, from the trainee teacher to the experienced practitioner."Rose-Marie Rochester, Archimedes NE Maths Hub Lead/BHCET Director of Maths, UKAddressing the maths skills gap, Wang et al. propose a new method for maths lesson planning that harnesses the power of reasoning in mathematics teaching. Using a pedagogical approach called the Causal Connectivity Framework (CCF), this book helps teachers to support students in actively discovering the logical foundations upon which classroom activities are linked together. The authors have diverse expertise and experiences as maths teachers, teacher educators and researchers, and this alternative approach is the result of long-term collaboration aimed at building up successful maths lessons from the very first steps - lesson planning.Developing Maths Lesson Planning and Frameworks:.Offers practical advice within a theoretical framework.Ties in with UK National Curriculum requirements.Contains detailed practical examples and visual aids throughoutReasoning is a critical component of maths learning, making this essential reading for maths teachers and teacher trainees as they help students to achieve maths mastery. Linda Wang is Assistant Professor and PGCE secondary maths Lead at Durham University, UK. She is particularly interested in curriculum design at both secondary and lower primary level mathematics, and developing the educational impact partnership model to deliver Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to future-orientate Mathematics education.Chris Brown is Professor of Education at the University of Southampton, UK. His research interests include using Professional Learning Networks (PLNs) to promote the collaborative learning of teachers, as well as how research evidence can and should, but often doesn't, aid the development of education policy and practice.Jeremy Dawson is Area Co-ordinator for the Advanced Maths Support Programme at Durham University, UK. He has worked in a variety of diverse school settings around North East England and has extensive experience of teaching mathematics from KS2-KS5, as well as contributing and assisting on gifted and talented programs for prospective university entrants.

About this title

Synopsis

This book supports teacher trainees as they help students develop maths reasoning skills. It uses the Causal Connectivity Framework and enhances the knowledge and skills of trainees in sequencing teaching content with cumulative knowledge and understanding. It covers a variety of contexts from primary education up to GCSE level and includes practical examples of what is possible. The book offers maths teachers an alternative way of incorporating reasoning as a critical component of maths learning - a part of continuous professional development based on strong subject and curriculum content knowledge.
