Exploring the ways in which maths skills can be learned through cross-curricular projects on arts and music, this book presents maths as a meaningful and exciting subject which holds no fear for children. Exploring the ways in which maths skills can be learned through cross-curricular activities based on visual arts and music, this text presents maths as a meaningful and exciting subject which holds no fears for children. The authors recognize that while maths-phobia prevails in our increasingly mathematicized world, attitudes and approaches to teaching the subject need to be reviewed, and issues such as gender stereotyping, which encourage maths-apathy, need to be tackled at an early age. Within this collection of classroom-based stories are detailed examples of intergrative mathematic projects. Review: . . . eminently readable and tremendously evocative. It reminded me of why I came into teaching and why mathematics is so beautiful.. -David Clemson, Reader in Primary Education, Liverpool John Moores University
