Description
Conceptual Maths: Teaching 'about' (rather than just 'how to do') mathematics in schools is a comprehensive guide for teachers. It focuses on empowering students with a deep understanding of mathematical concepts, rather than just procedures. By exploring various visual tools and techniques, this book sheds light on the structures underlying different mathematical concepts, including number, addition and subtraction, multiplication and multiples, division and factors, proportionality, functionality, measures, accuracy, probability, shape and transformation, and vectors. This enables teachers to help learners assimilate knowledge of mathematical concepts into their schema. With practical know-how and confidence, teachers can use these visual tools in the classroom to deepen pupils' understanding of mathematical structures, taking their learning to the next level.
