Sommario/riassunto

The Clemsons' clear and readable book takes the reader from debates about how children learn and what children know and can do when they start school; through to a discussion of how mathematics can be managed, assessed and evaluated in the school and classroom. Linking these two parts of the book is a section on the subject of mathematics itself, from which the non-specialist reader can gain a view of what mathematics is, what needs to be thought about in planning and offering a curriculum and the special dilemmas faced in teaching and learning mathematics as a subject. A bank of case studies

This expanded edition brings us up to the present, examining the legacies of our three



most recent First Ladies: Nancy Reagan, credited with raising the job to that of ""Associate President""; Barbara Bush, who took a more traditional approach); and Hillary Rodham Clinton,
