Teaching Mathematics Visually and Actively
- Tandi Clausen-May - Educational researcher
Accompanying this second edition is a companion website that includes a range of resources for teaching each topic including:
- Dynamic PowerPoint animations which can be used to help learners to develop their understanding of key mathematical concepts
- Posters of each concept
And in addition to all this, each chapter suggests even further links to other useful resources for every topic to enhance your teaching.
With clear explanations and strong visual layout, this is an ideal resource for teachers, SENCOs (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators) and teaching assistants who want to motivate their learners with different and exciting ways of teaching and learning maths.

Great book with innovative and creative ideas for teachers/trainee teachers to explore and engage with.
A really useful book, which is on our library shelves and regularly used by our trainee teachers. They particularly like its practical nature and report success with it when teaching children.
Interactive and imaginative representatives and activities that can be used to support the development of conceptual understanding in pupils as well as further develop problem solving skils. Many thanks.
I liked this book as it gave clear examples of the basics of maths. However, I was looking for ideas of ways to embed numeracy into the lessons I teach on vocational courses and I felt that the book didn't offer many real life situations. Any real life situations would have been more applicable for me embedding into lessons, rather teaching than primarily maths lessons, despite being in a clear visual way.
This book is good at what it does and I think I would consider using the Clock example as a reminder of fractions, before applying it to a scenario more relevant to my course.
I would suggest it to learners who are resitting Maths GCSE alongside my course.
An interesting an easy to understand text that enables practitioners in settings or, still in training to adopt different methods of teaching mathematics.
This book offers creative and visual resources to support the teaching of mathematics in the classroom. Covers key concepts in mathematical coverage. A stimulating read for both students and experienced teachers alike.
This was brimful of activities and approaches in supprting and teaching Maths. The additional information and resources on the CD Rom were an unexpected bonus.
