β¦ Synopsis
The effective use of resources is one of the essential elements in supporting children's mathematical learning. This idea is supported by the Primary Strategy, recent initiatives such as Excellence and Enjoyment and the growing emphasis on the need to develop children's thinking skills. The book explores in depth how teachers can utilise resources effectively in order to aid children in their mathematical problem-solving, reasoning and communication.
