Building Learning in Mathematics
 by
Stephanie Prestage, Els De Geest, Anne Watson

The concept of deep learning, as opposed to surface learning, is being increasingly recognized by teachers and, here, Stephanie Prestage and her colleagues use it in connection with enabling so-far low attaining students to recover their self-esteem and mathematical capabilities. This essential guide for mathematics teachers will help to change the focus from ‘doing and finishing’ to ‘thinking and learning’.

Stephanie Prestage taught mathematics in London comprehensive schools for twelve years before joining the University of Birmingham as a lecturer in mathematics education. She has written extensively in the area of developing tasks for use in the classroom and is keen for all pupils to work and think mathematically.

Els De Geest taught mathematics for 7 years in 11-18 schools and has been a Research Officer at the University of Oxford for three projects. She also works as a mathematics consultant at Slough LA, a PGCE tutor for the Open University and an Associate for the Basic Skills Agency.

Anne Watson is Reader in Mathematics Education at the University of Oxford. She teaches PGCE Secondary Mathematics and leads a small group of Mathematics Education researchers who focus on mathematical thinking in school contexts.
