Description

Understanding children's thinking about numbers and mathematics is crucial for effective teaching. This guide brings together research from four countries to explore pupils' work from ages 3 to 11, revealing the reasons behind their successes, misunderstandings, and misconceptions.

By examining how children think about numbers and use them, teachers can broaden their own mathematical knowledge and develop a deeper understanding of their students' needs. This book provides valuable insights into the development of mathematical ability in primary school children.

With contributions from experts in education, mathematics, and psychology, Mathematical Misconceptions offers practical advice for teachers looking to improve their teaching practice and support their pupils' learning.
