Mathematics for Children with Severe and Profound Learning D

Mathematics can sometimes cause the most concern for teachers of children with severe and profound learning difficulties. This work gives guidance on creating a continuum of assessment and recording that can cover the wide range of abilities of pupils in special schools. The book will covers a wide range of approaches to teaching and learning and demonstrates how mathematics can be related to personal and social development, communication and thinking skills. Written with the non-specialist in mind and including plenty of practical examples, it will make useful reading for teachers in mainstream and special schools, and learning support assistants. Early years practitioners and teachers in training may find the book useful for its descriptions of how children acquire their foundation of early mathematics and numeracy skills.
