Language for Learning Mathematics: 
Assessment for Learning in Practice 	
Clare Lee 
Teacher Advisor for Assessment; Warwickshire LEA 	
ISBN: 0335219888 	
Published: June 2006 	
136pp Paperback £19.99 (Save 20%: £15.99)	
	
Many pupils find it difficult to express ideas in mathematics because of problems with the language that is used to convey mathematical concepts. This book shows teachers how to help pupils express what they really know and understand, so that assessment for learning can be used. The book: 

 <http://www.mcgraw-hill.co.uk/ecat/openup06/lee/bullet.jpg> Discusses what mathematical language is, and what it is not 
 <http://www.mcgraw-hill.co.uk/ecat/openup06/lee/bullet.jpg> Suggests practical approaches to introducing more discourse into the classroom
 <http://www.mcgraw-hill.co.uk/ecat/openup06/lee/bullet.jpg> Explores the ideas of assessment for learning - rich questioning and dialogue, effective feedback, and peer and self assessment - and suggests how these can be used effectively in mathematics classrooms to improve learning

Raising Achievement in Secondary Mathematics 	
Anne Watson
University of Oxford 	
ISBN: 0335218601	
Published: June 2006 	
208pp Paperback £18.99 (Save 20%: £15.19)	
	
Raising Achievement in Secondary Mathematics shows how well-meant teaching strategies and approaches can in practice exacerbate underachievement in maths by making inappropriate demands on learners. As well as criticizing some of the teaching and grouping practices that are considered normal in many schools, the book also offers an alternative view of attainment and capability, based on real classroom incidents in which 'low attaining students' show themselves to be able to think about mathematics in quite sophisticated ways.

Masculinities in Mathematics 	
Heather Mendick 
Teacher Advisor for Assessment; Warwickshire LEA 	
ISBN: 033521827X 	
Published: June 2006 	
192pp Paperback £20.99 (Save 20%: £16.79)	
	
The study of mathematics, together with other 'gendered' subjects such as science and engineering, usually attracts more male than female pupils, particularly at more advanced levels. In this book Heather Mendick explores this phenomenon, addressing the important question of why more boys than girls choose to study mathematics. She combines new research with an original theoretical approach to argue that 'doing mathematics is doing masculinity'.
