Learning to Teach Mathematics in the Secondary School combines theory and practice to present a broad introduction to the opportunities and challenges of teaching mathematics in the secondary school classroom. This fifth edition has been fully updated to reflect the latest changes to the curriculum and research in the field, and key developments in technology and AI. Written specifically with the new and student teacher in mind, the book covers a wide range of issues related to the teaching of mathematics and includes two new chapters on problem solving and mathematics for social justice.With carefully designed tasks to prompt critical reflection and support thinking and writing up to Masters Level, other chapters cover:• why we teach mathematics • the place of mathematics in the curriculum • planning, teaching and assessing for mathematics learning • using digital technology and AI to advance mathematical learning• teaching for inclusion• post-16 teaching• mindsets, resilience and self-efficacyDesigned for use as a core textbook, Learning to Teach Mathematics in the Secondary School provides essential guidance and advice for all those who aspire to be effective mathematics teachers.
