Review Quotes: An informative text that has been recommended to our first-year students, not only for their assignment for Developing Mathematics but also for their work roles as teaching assistants / early years practitioners. The text enabled our FD Educational Practice students to further explore the misconceptions of mathematics, as well as having a clearer understanding for their pupils working towards mastery on key topics.--Miss Tracey Canham (4/25/2025 12:00:00 AM)
