Editorial Reviews

Review

After more than a decade of teaching maths “”successfully”” I was introduced to some of the tasks found in this book, by a much younger colleague. The impact of using such tasks was enormous and learners were readily engaged and showing signs of enjoyment. I can only describe the experience as an epiphany. This book shows how Mike’s pedagogy can be implemented in a school – we have a long way to go, but there is no turning back!’ –Jeanette Denton, 2nd in Maths, Mill Hill County High School, UK

Everything Mike writes is underpinned by a fundamental belief in the natural powers innate in each and every learner. This is as true of the latest edition of Getting the Buggers to Add Up as it is of anything else he has written, and this philosophy has profoundly affected me as a teacher of mathematics. This book should be read and reflected upon by everyone involved in maths teaching, beginner and veteran alike: an invaluable resource.’ –Christopher Martin, Teacher of Maths at Haverstock School, London, UK

A refreshing and inspiring book with updated sections that take account of current issues in practice in relation to functional mathematics, assessment and the use of technologies to support learning. Thought provoking, accessible and relevant to both teachers in training and practising professionals.’ –Jenni Back, Associate Professor of Mathematics Education, University of Plymouth, UK
