Primary Maths [EPUB ebook] 
Anyone can feed sweets to the sharks…

Primary maths is stereotypically loved by a few hairy oddballs, tolerated by most sane primary practitioners; loathed by many. With the right approach, however; the right mindset and sense of the impossible being achievable, maths can be moulded into the diamond in the rough of the primary curriculum. Enter Nick Tiley-Nunn: Britain's most imaginative, most exciting primary maths specialist. Over years of practice he has generated ideas about the teaching of maths that are so distinct, so far out and so utterly brilliant that any primary teacher struggling to grasp the nettle of teaching long division will emerge from communing with his ideas not just with some cliched sense that 'maths can be fun', but that it can be brilliant, life-enhancing and truly hilarious. This book presents ideas for primary maths teaching so wildly creative and so full of the joy of life that any classroom of kids will be grateful you read it.

Om författaren

Phil Beadle knows a bit about bringing creative projects to fruit. His self-described ’renaissance dilettantism’ is best summed up by Mojo magazine’s description of him as a ’burnished voice soul man and left wing educationalist’. He is the author of ten books on a variety of subjects, including the acclaimed Dancing About Architecture, described in Brain Pickings as ’a strong, pointed conceptual vision for the nature and origin of creativity’. As songwriter Philip Kane, his work has been described in Uncut magazine as having ’novelistic range and ambition’ and in Mojo as having a ’rare ability to find romance in the dirt’ along with ’bleakly literate lyricism’. He has won national awards for both teaching and broadcasting, was a columnist for the Guardian newspaper for nine years and has written for every broadsheet newspaper in the UK, as well as the Sydney Morning Herald. Phil is also one of the most experienced, gifted and funniest public speakers in the UK.
