This book is a maths teacher or home schooling parent’s best friend. It provides practical “Tips” on how to approach teaching mathematics in ways that are not only clear but that also highlight the many teaching “Traps” to avoid.

The author Greg Bodill has dedicated the better part of his life to teaching the foundations of mathematics in ways that are engaging, practical and clear. In this, his first textbook, he uses his years of experience to outline across 10 well illustrated chapters the most common mistakes both made and taught. Using examples and case studies he helps educators, parents and scholars alike, to navigate the pitfalls of this vital school subject.

In “Tips and Traps” we hope you will find a resource that you keep close at hand and will refer to for years to come.
