100 ideas for Primary Teachers: Numeracy Difficulties and
Dyscalculia is rather more than its title implies .The activities
can stand alone if the practice of a concept is needed but it is
also a structured, cumulative guide to teaching children the basic
underlying skills needed to develop a maths sense and ability, and
enable them to reason. The activities are concrete and
multisensory, particularly the early section on developing visual
perception and directional language. It is an invaluable resource
to use alongside maths teaching.

This is an excellent book for all teachers of mathematics, from the
earliest stages up until the point where children learn to use
formal methods of calculations. One of the great things about this
book is the way that it not only explains why some children may be
having difficulties in maths, but takes you through the
developmental steps they need to go through in order to achieve
success in maths. This book is set out clearly and sequentially so
that, as well as demonstrating the importance of foundation skills
in maths, when you know what difficulties a child is experiencing
you can go straight to the part of the book that will give you
ideas in how to address them. This book isn't just a book for
teachers of children who are struggling with maths, this book is
for everyone.

columnist, Author of 'Inclusion for Primary School Teachers'*
All the games and activities have been tried-and-tested in
specialist and mainstream schools and the excellent approach puts
numbers into everyday contexts, removing the fear. Simple,
straightforward and effective

Let's face it, time is a premium for teachers and other education
professionals. So having a book that so easy to browse and discover
tried and tested suggestions – is incredible value.
