Primary mathematics with an interactive whiteboard
By Anita Straker
Speaking and listening in the form of discussion and dialogue are essential to the development of mathematical thinking. In mathematics, talk is used in explanations, in questioning, in refining ideas, in analysing problems and in justifying outcomes. Talk plays a key role in helping children to make connections between different ideas and concepts and across the different areas of mathematics.
Talking points contains suggestions for encouraging children to think and talk about mathematics, with activities prepared within the Mult-e-Maths Toolbox providing a starting point for discussion. The ideas are grouped by topic and arranged in order of year groups, matching the Framework for teaching mathematics. The book will thus be invaluable for all teachers in primary schools and many of the ideas can be extended for use in the lower years of secondary school.
