Helping Children Learn Mathematics 2e is a practical resource for undergraduate students of primary school teaching, rich in ideas, tools and stimulation for lessons during teaching rounds or in the classroom. This second edition provides a clear understanding of how to navigate the Australian curriculum, with detailed coverage on how to effectively use Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in the classroom. The WileyPLUS Learning Space interactive textbook facilitates an engaging learning experience and showcases excellent pedagogy and best e-learning practices.
I'm reading chapter two right now and its description of behaviourism is just completely wrong. It also keeps giving examples of "wrong" ways to do things without actually justifying those judgements or providing examples of the "right" ways to do them instead. Like "rote learning has no place in school mathematics" - well how do you learn to count, add or multiply without rote learning? Serious question; I don't have the first clue, and this book seemingly has no interest in enlightening me.
