An early grasp of fundamental mathematical ideas such as place value, fractions, measurement, equations and ratio - is essential to children's later mathematical development: all these topics are identified in the National Curriculum. "Children's Mathematical Frameworks 8-13" provides primary and secondary maths advisers, teachers and student teachers with comprehensive information on how mathematical problems are commonly presented and interpreted, and the problems children encounter in attempting to understand and apply them. The book also provides assistance in assessing levels of performance and will be helpful in determining programmes of study for Key States 2 and 3 in the National Curriculum.
