Providing full coverage of the required subject knowledge for primary mathematics, this is a core text for primary trainees working towards QTS. Self assessment questions enable readers to understand their own level of knowledge and an M level extension feature in all chapters suggests avenues for further study at Master's level. Research summaries include the latest works in primary mathematics and, throughout interactive tasks engage the reader with the text, helping them to link theory and practice.

Trainees will find it helpful to use this book alongside Primary Mathematics Teaching Theory and Practice.
