It is widely acknowledged that students from Singapore do well in mathematics in international studies. This book provides readers with a glimpse of students from Singapore who are at the other end of the ability spectrum. The book is based on a study that explored the mathematics content knowledge of Primary 4 low attainers in mathematics, their behaviours, affects and home backgrounds, and learning experiences. Based on the findings of the study, the book has recommendations for teachers of low attainers 606 $aMathematics$xStudy and teaching (Primary)$xResearch$zSingapore 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMathematics$xStudy and teaching (Primary)$xResearch 676 $a371.9 701 $aKaur$b Berinderjeet$f1955-$0874790 701 $aGhani$b Masura$0899942 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457511803321 996 $aLow attainers in primary mathematics$92010783 997 $aUNINA
