Books in the Subjects in the Primary School series

All primary school teachers have to teach art but few have sufficient formal training to feel confident with the subject. This book shows how teachers and their pupils can get the most out of art lessons.

A clear guide to the ways in which the primary teacher can best exploit the psychological principles which underlie the learning of maths in the classroom.

Using practical examples and case studies the author examines some of the experimental and investigative teaching methods which are intended to support the 'specialist approach' in the teaching of primary science.

Features case studies which show how teachers have put design and technology into practice. The authors explore problem solving activities, the National Curriculum and areas of difficulty such as electricity and the use of technical lego.
