I just wish I had known all of this twelve years ago."Craig Barton is one of the UK's most respected teachers of mathematics. In his remarkable new book, he explains how he has delved into the world of academic research and emerged with a range of simple, practical, effective strategies that anyone can employ to save time and energy and have a positive impact on the long-term learning and enjoyment of students. Craig presents the findings of over 100 books and research articles from the fields of Cognitive Science, Memory, Psychology and Behavioural Economics, together with the conversations he has had with world renowned educational experts on his Mr Barton Maths Podcast, and subsequent experiments with my students and colleagues. Review: A Very Important Book for Mathematics Education - In recent years, there has been a growing trend in mathematics education, away from direct instruction, toward allowing students to "discover" the math through exploring relationships or solving problems by themselves or in small groups - often with disastrous results for many students. In _How I Wish I'd Taught Maths_, British educator Barton examines a wide range of neuroscience research, looking at how students actually learn math and why the discovery approach is not effective when students are learning something new. He then explains how to apply these research findings in the classroom. His approach offers the potential to reorient mathematics education in the best possible way, with great benefits for many students. I've been a secondary math teacher for many years, and I believe this book is one of the most valuable and important contributions that has been made to mathematics education in recent decades. Review: Fantastic! - Extremely important and valuable experience for math teachers, but with interest for other teachers as well as people interested in education. It's much more than a simple debunking of romantic and outdated theories on education. it's a practical explanation about the importance of the curriculum, structured teaching and knowledge. Instead of talking about "XXI century competences" and similar empty buzzwords, it helps all of us to do good teaching! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #322,602 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #201 in Education Curriculum & Instruction #580 in Curricula (Books) #602 in Math Teaching Materials | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 723 Reviews | ## Images ![How I Wish I Had Taught Maths: Reflections on research, conversations with experts, and 12 years of mistakes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WdVjikxqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Very Important Book for Mathematics Education *by C***Y on August 6, 2018* In recent years, there has been a growing trend in mathematics education, away from direct instruction, toward allowing students to "discover" the math through exploring relationships or solving problems by themselves or in small groups - often with disastrous results for many students.
