Primary Mathematics: Capitalising on ICT for today and tomorrow

Abstract

Now in its second edition, Primary Mathematics continues to provide a comprehensive introduction to teaching and learning mathematics in today's classrooms. With links to both the Australian and New Zealand curriculums, this book covers the core learning areas of measurement, space and geometry, early number concepts, data and statistics, chance and probability, and patterns and algebra. Primary Mathematics encourages the integration of technology into a pedagogically sound learning sequence for primary mathematics and provides teachers with detailed activities and examples to cater for the mathematical needs of all learners. The book comes with free 12-month access to Cambridge HOTmaths, a popular, award-winning online tool with engaging multimedia to help students and teachers learn and teach mathematics concepts. In this edition, the authors emphasise the Proficiencies and General Capabilities of the Australian Curriculum, and provide comparable references to the New Zealand Curriculum - including cultural competencies, teaching as inquiry, and numeracy project curriculum links, which are all firmly embedded in teaching mathematics in New Zealand.
