An introductory guide for pre-service primary teachers covering the principles of effective pedagogy and explaining the core content of the primary mathematics curriculum. Many pre-service teachers admit to feeling unsure about the mathematics they will have to teach in primary school. Others comment on the difficulties they have in recognising how the theories of teaching and learning they meet in other parts of their course can be applied when teaching mathematics. This book begins by outlining some of the key considerations of effective mathematics teaching and learning. These include understanding student motivation, overcoming maths anxiety, developing a positive learning environment and classroom management. The authors also introduce the curriculum, assessment and explore the use of ICT in the maths classroom. Part 2 outlines in clear and accessible style, the mathematical content knowledge required of a primary teacher. The content extends beyond the primary level to Year Nine of the Australian Curriculum as, while primary teachers may not have to teach this content, knowing it is a key part of being a strong teacher. In addition, the extended range of mathematical content will assist pre-service teachers in meeting the requirements of the LANTITE (that is, the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education students). Featuring graphics and worked examples and using clear and friendly language throughout, this is the essential introduction for students wishing to begin teaching primary mathematics with confidence and enthusiasm. About the Author Dr John West is a Lecturer in Mathematics Education at Edith Cowan University. He has taught mathematics at primary, secondary and tertiary levels. Dr Fiona Budgen is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Education at Edith Cowan University. She and John have a strong research interest in primary mathematics education and identifying and supporting numeracy needs of first year students.
