A Teacher's Source Book for Mathematics in Classes 6 to 8 by Jamie York

Experienced maths teacher and consultant Jamie York believes that a love of learning comes through the teacher, so his books are committed to supporting teachers in developing their classroom skills and to fostering a love of maths in their students.

 

Unlike conventional maths textbooks, his books are not full of fancy graphics and contrived ways to make maths fun.

Rather, they:

focus on the essentials, so teachers aren't overwhelmed by endless lists of required material

are genuinely interesting and challenging, sparking students' enthusiasm for learning maths

are developmentally appropriate to the age of the child, thereby encouraging inner mathemetical awareness and thinking

favour depth over superficiality, to avoid teaching blind procedures to solve meaningless problems

 

This teachers' resource book for Classes 6 to 8 provides a direct and logical approach to teaching 12 to 15-year-olds maths. Each class level and topic provide numerous tried and tested examples and explanations. The Source Book can be used in conjunction with the specially-developed workbooks for Classes 6 to 8.
