Reflective practice is at the heart of effective teaching, and this book aims to help you develop into a reflective teacher of mathematics. Everything you need is here: guidance on developing your analysis and self-evaluation skills, the knowledge of what you are trying to achieve and why, and examples of how experienced teachers deliver successful lessons.

The book shows you how to plan lessons, how to make good use of resources, and how to assess pupils′ progress effectively. Each chapter contains several points for reflection, which encourage you to break off from your reading and think about some of the challenging questions that you face as a new teacher.

The book is supplemented by a companion website, which includes:
Videos of real lessons so you can see the skills discussed in the text in action Transcripts from teachers and students that you can use as tools for reflection Links to a range of sites that provide useful additional support Extra planning and resource materials If you are training to teach mathematics, this book will help you to improve your classroom performance by providing you with practical advice, but also by helping you to think in depth about the key issues. It also provides examples of the research evidence that is needed in academic work at the graduate level.
