| Summary |
"In this book, Jenny Houssart draws on close observation of children in lower mathematics sets in primary schools to investigate why some children opt out of mathematics at an early age. After introducing us to the children, the author addresses particular mathematical tasks in each chapter." "Low Attainers in Primary Mathematics will be a useful resource for primary teachers, student teachers, SENCOs and teaching assistants who will all recognise these children from their own classrooms and draw insights from this book."--BOOK JACKET |
