.Mathematics Explained for Primary Teachers
City Travel Guides > Books > Primary and Junior Schools
by: Derek W Haylock

November 15, 2005
This is the book to buy on teaching this subject. It is clearly written, beautifully laid out and provides self assessment exercises to work through in order to clarify what has just been read. There are more provided on the cd rom at the back of the book too. If you are teaching this subject for the first time, moving up or down years or simply want to refresh your knowledge and rekindle your enthusiasm then this is the book for you.

.Primary Science: Knowledge and Understanding (Achieving QTS): Knowledge and Understanding (Achieving QTS)
City Travel Guides > Books > Primary and Junior Schools
by: Rob Johnsey, John Sharp, Graham Peacock, et al

May 30, 2007
This book was a fantastic find, as I thought i was lacking a little in general Science subject knowledge. This is by far the most thorough and descriptive book that includes everything you need to know about each individual topic and what each Key Stage needs to know. It gives questions to answer whilst reading down the margin, along with a self-assessment at the end of each chapter to check understanding. This book was very useful to me as a student, so I believe this will be the same to any student worrying about having a sufficient knowledge of the Science Curriculum. This is the 3rd edition, fully revised for the new 2007 Standards. WOW!

.Jumpstart!: Literacy - Games and Activities for Ages 7-14
City Travel Guides > Books > Primary and Junior Schools
by: Pie Corbett

November 01, 2003
I love it! The children in my class love it!

It is full of literacy starters and games to get children thinking. It fits really well with the Ros Wilson 2020 / Big Writing and the Literacy Hour.

I wouldn't be without it.

.Reflective Teaching 3rd Edition: Evidence-informed Professional Practice
City Travel Guides > Books > Primary and Junior Schools
by: Andrew Pollard

May 08, 2008
I found this book really useful for filling all the gaps on my PGCE year. It dips into education theory in more depth than our lectures did, but is not so pretentious or jargon-filled that I struggled with it. I also found the accompanying Readings for Reflective Teaching useful- especially as resource for essays or for trying to get your head around Vygotsky or Piaget in their own words.

When training to be a teacher it's tempting to focus on teaching skills and neglect subject knoweldge. But the two are interlinked. The better you know your subject - the more confident you will be in the classroom. This book covers everything from basic arithmetic to trig. Each chapter includes summaries and questions - to help you make sure that everything has sunk in. A great book - especially for anyone who's last real experience of maths was age 16!
