Review
"No time to plan? Too busy to be creative? These books fulfil the dreams of busy teachers who need to teach core curriculum topics in ways which stimulate, excite and challenge all their students. Every idea in these books encourages mathematical thinking, deep understanding, and learning key mathematical ideas. Colin Foster has collected a wide range of tried-and-tested tasks and contexts to teach core curriculum topics and organised them to be accessible for quick planning. Indispensable!" --Dr Anne Watson, Reader in Mathematics Education, University of Oxford

From the Inside Flap
Teachers are busy people, so I’ll be brief.

Let me tell you what this book isn’t.

* It isn’t a book you have to make time to read; it’s a book that will save you time.
Take it into the classroom and use ideas from it straight away.
* It isn’t a scheme of work, and it isn’t even arranged by age or ability level.
Many of the ideas can be used equally well with any age of pupil.
* It isn’t a book of exercises or worksheets.
You can photocopy it if you want, but the ideas work just as well as, well, just ideas.

So what is this book?

This is a book to make notes in. Cross out anything you don’t like or would never use.
Add in your own ideas or references to other resources.
It’s your book, after all.

It’s a book of INSTANT MATHS IDEAS.
For Key Stage 3 teachers.
End of story.
