About this title

Review

"Subject knowledge in maths teaching goes way beyond just knowing how to do maths. It is necessary for maths teachers to gain a deep understand of the underlying concepts in the topics that they're teaching, as well developing sound knowledge of the common misconceptions, the mathematical connections and historical context. In this book, Jemma explains all of this with exceptional clarity. For any new teacher entering the profession, or any experienced teacher looking to enhance their subject knowledge, this book will be incredibly valuable. It is full of insight and wisdom and will undoubtedly help teachers become more confident in the classroom." (Jo Morgan, Mathematics teacher, UK)
