Riassunto

"I genuinely believe I have never taught mathematics better, and my students have never learned more. I just wish I had known all of this twelve years ago."Craig Barton is one of the UK's most respected teachers of mathematics. In his remarkable new book, he explains how he has delved into the world of academic research and emerged with a range of simple, practical, effective strategies that anyone can employ to save time and energy and have a positive impact on the long-term learning and enjoyment of students. Craig presents the findings of over 100 books and research articles from the fields of Cognitive Science, Memory, Psychology and Behavioural Economics, together with the conversations he has had with world renowned educational experts on his Mr Barton Maths Podcast, and subsequent experiments with my students and colleagues.

Recensione

This book has the potential to have a huge impact on the way maths is taught. It is so refreshing to see a maths teacher honestly critiquing their own practice and suggesting alternative approaches based on sound research and analysis. Craig's warm and relatable style of writing is a pleasure to read. His book is brought to life by hilarious anecdotes and humble reflections. Craig summarises the key points of the relevant research succinctly and his advice to teachers is perfectly pitched and instantly transferable to any maths classroom. For the sake of our current and future students, I certainly hope that this book becomes essential reading for maths teachers.' Jo Morgan, maths teacher and creator of resourceaholic.com, @mathsjem

Evidence-fueled, down-to-earth, and hugely practical. The book we maths teachers have all been waiting for.'

--Peps Mccrea, Associate Dean at the Institute for Teaching, @pepsmccrea

This is a really thoughtful and thought-provoking discussion of a series of important and practical questions about the best way to teach. --Daisy Christodoulou, author of 7 Myths about Education and Director of Education at No More Marking, @daisychristo
