Issues in Teaching Numeracy in Primary Schools is a bestselling guide for all trainee and practising primary school teachers, classroom assistants and mathematics specialist teachers. It provides an accessible guide to a wide range of research evidence about teaching and learning mathematics.

The new edition comprises fourteen new chapters, including a section devoted to post-Williams issues and four popular chapters that have been retained and updated in light of the vast changes in the field.

Key topics include:

Using resources, ICT, AfL and problem solving approaches effectively
