Drawing on research from the fields of developmental and cognitive psychology, Peter Westwood presents a case for high-quality 'first teaching' to prevent students failing in the initial acquisition of numeracy skills. Numeracy and Learning Difficulties provides guidance on how to develop flexible teaching methods and strategies to improve mathematical skills of students. It discusses common areas of learning difficulty in mathematics and looks at ways teachers can determine gaps in students' knowledge, as well as how to develop curricula and problem-solving strategies to address these gaps."--back cover.NumeracyStudy and teaching (Primary)Number concept in childrenLearning disabilitiesAustralianNumeracyStudy and teaching (Primary)Number concept in children.Learning disabilities.372.7/2044Westwood Peter S.854050Australian Council for Educational Research,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910155103203321Numeracy and learning difficulties2893873UNINA
