PRESENTING CHILDREN TO MATHS STRONGER CHARACTER...

Mathematics is not a universally popular subject  neither within nor outside of school. There
are those who love it but many do not  and it is not uncommon for people to take a perverse
pride in being bad at it. This book argues that  while much-needed improvements to mathematics
teaching are necessary to address such issues  they are insufficient without also imbuing
children with the character required to learn it effectively. Teachers of mathematics are
responsible not only for applying skilful pedagogy but also for developing a productive
learning culture within the mathematics classroom. We need to consider the emotional and social
impact on children of teachers' own attitudes and beliefs about mathematics and how children
should be taught it. Sometimes provocative and irreverent but always stimulating and lucid 
Presenting Children to Maths is an original and profound discussion about how students' ability
and success in mathematics depends largely on how their disposition and will are shaped towards
learning it.
