I would recommend as a must to all NQT's, trainees and non specialists.' Teresa Bird, Maths teacher, Burnley It has challenged the way I approach, teach, and even think about maths myself. It is great to read a book written with such passion offering suggestions that anyone can try the next day. The ideas I have tried have been really successful and provided enjoyable and sometimes memorable experiences. The book makes you think, and the challenge is to change not just what you are thinking but what you are actually doing in the classroom and see for yourself what effect it has on the learning taking place.
