Minding your Ps and Cs: subjecting knowledge to the practicalities of teaching geometry and probability

摘要: The review of the implementation National Numeracy Strategy by Ofsted (Nov. 2003) has highlighted weak subject knowledge as a consistent feature in unsatisfactory teaching. This study looks at generalist primary trainees areas geometry and probability their ability to apply problem solving tasks. goes on raise question, ‘is profound understanding fundamental mathematics (PUFM) (Ma, 1999) possible teachers?’
