In Secondary Maths in Action, experienced curriculum expert and maths teacher Emma McCrea offers insights into the complex task of teaching maths.

Taking an evidence-informed stance, Emma first explores the age-old question of why we study maths and the important role it plays in our lives and in society. Next she examines several pertinent debates in maths - those of pupil grouping, mastery and gender. Finally, we are taken on a grand tour of curriculum, pedagogy and assessment as the fundamental pillars of great teaching.

Additionally, the book includes four rich case studies, revisited throughout the curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment chapters, which help to showcase how these ideas can be applied in various contexts - so you can really see what it all looks like In Action.
