"Mathematics for Curriculum Leaders" challenges teachers to ask questions about the nature of understanding in mathematics and the ideas underlying its teaching and learning. The book suggests that more attention should be given to the processes children apply rather than simply accepting their final product as evidence of engagement or understanding. "Mathematics for Curriculum Leaders" is divided into seven units, each dealing with distinct aspects of the learning of primary mathematics. Each unit provides appropriate activities to support children in their attempts to report their thinking, and focuses on the sensitive collection and interpretation of this information so that the students can be given a prudent course of instruction through the important primary education years.
