Riassunto

Making Maths Add Up takes a new approach to teaching maths. Starting from scratch, it breaks seemingly complex mathematical concepts down into core parts, and builds upon each foundation skill in an intuitive way. This book equips kids with the skills and tools to explore and truly understand maths. While most books cover only a fraction of each topic, this book starts from the beginning and logically builds up each concept, strengthening students' confidence. This way any gaps in previous maths education that may have been holding students back will be found and addressed. This book is suitable for a range of students, from young kids who want to be extended to intermediate aged children who have 'fallen behind'. No specific year level is put on the book so kids are not shamed by the expectations of artificial divisions created by curriculum designs. Maggie's use of cute pictures and chatty, conversational language are in stark contrast to the usual dry intimidating maths textbook. She discusses serious maths concepts in a friendly way so everyone can enjoy discovering their secret math superpowers!

Informazioni sull'autore

Maggie loves math, but found math lessons and systems in her school very frustrating. There were many times where she discovered she could learn more in 20 minutes of her own research than in half a term in maths class. She would often collect a little huddle of friends who also wanted to know how to not fail their next test, and would share her knowledge. Discovering that she was a natural teacher she found her first dream job when she was 17 at a local tutoring centre. She loved it so much she ran her own volunteer sessions at the public/school library during the school holidays, which then expanded into running her own small side hustle all the way through her time at university. Mid-way through her psychology degree, she fell off a skateboard, bashing her brain and passing out. A fractured skull and needing-a-stitch-on-her-eyebrow later, she was unable to return to study but struggled to return to her usual day-to-day activities for more than two years. This book has been the passion project that helped her during that time cling onto her purpose and joy for life and provided a way to share her teaching beyond Her hometown. Besides maths, she has a mission to hunt down great teachers of other skills she secretly wants to become a master of, like parkour, all things music, and roller-skating - and maybe one day pass those skills on too!
