About the Author
I taught Mathematics for 36 years, the latter 25 years as Head of Department at a Comprehensive School. I worked across the ability range teaching both the brightest and weakest pupils. It was during my time at my last school that the material presented in this series of books was developed. I had as a teacher never been happy with the quality of spatial work contained in text books, and so I sought to build up a scheme of work. The material started with exercises in reflection, rotation, and enlargement. The availability of square dot and isometric paper brought in work on tessellations and symmetry. To extend the range of symmetry work unique grids were made up and tried out. All through the process of building up this scheme of work the reaction of the pupils to the material was the driving force. If it did not work it was either modified or thrown out. Packs of coloured felt tip pens became available for use and the classroom walls became full of brightly coloured designs. Each class had its own section of wall and these classes kept a keen eye on what each other were doing. All year nine classes had this material integrated into their maths course, the interesting thing being that the ability to do the material did not correlate to mathematical ability. Low ability pupils were able to do complex designs and gained great personal esteem out of their success. I was able to build on this success and improve other areas of their mathematics. A lot of material went home to be done by their request, not mine. I was convinced that the pupils performance improved by using this material. Their concentration improved, their measuring skills improved as did their attitude to the subject. I have come to believe that there are three equally important areas to develop, Numeracy, Literacy and Spatial. I think we fail to give the latter enough importance in education. Some colleagues have used this material with lower aged pupils with great success.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
