About the Author:
Anne Watson (sole author) is Reader in Mathematics Education at the University of Oxford. Before that she was a secondary mathematics teacher for many years, committed to raising achievements of learners from normally disadvantaged social groups. Being out of school has enabled her to spend a long time thinking about how she could have done that better, and researching how normal practices, both in classrooms and in educational systems and institutions, seem to conspire against sustained improvement. Learning from teachers, both informally and through research, has enabled her to develop arguments for radical changes in practice. She has published numerous books, papers and professional articles on the teaching of mathematics, and is in demand as a speaker in the UK and abroad.
