Visible Maths is a valuable resource for maths teachers who seek to employ concrete and pictorial representations to enhance the understanding of key mathematical concepts and ideas. It emphasizes the view of the maths lesson as a platform for pupils to cultivate a profound grasp of the subject, rather than merely acquiring the skills to follow algorithms and processes that yield a specific answer. This approach, which is increasingly regarded as the pinnacle of best practices in maths education, is explored in depth by Peter Mattock in this book. Mattock focuses on the representations and structures that elucidate and illustrate key mathematical ideas, showcasing their effectiveness in fostering conceptual understanding and exposing the potential limitations of their usage. The book encompasses a wide range of representation methods, including number lines, proportion diagrams, ordered pair graphs, the bar model, and many others. By providing a comprehensive roadmap for teachers, Visible Maths guides them on the journey of maths mastery, enabling their students to reach new heights in their learning.
