"it
is having that knowledge to give to other people really"
"it is about my knowledge of fractions and my knowledge about how to teach them. My knowledge is all right because I actually taught it before, so I've got more confidence about it. Yeah, I think it's mainly to do with my own knowledge" |
"what I am looking for is enough understanding of subjects to teach them...as long as I've got that then I mean I don't want to develop my understanding of it in any great detail, Just enough so that I can actually teach it." | "if that is what I have to teach I 'll try and teach it" "don't know why they want me to teach it but they say I've got teach it so I need to know how to do it" "maths lessons were there because we needed to do them, and we knew that" | "children
will learn but only if you've got the knowledge to give them in the first
place"
"it's getting that knowledge first in order to pass it on" "the basic maths everyone should have a good grounding in but yes you can give them opportunities to learn more" "addition and subtraction, basic number work, erm mental - being able to do it mentally "

"looking
at different ways of doing number work" "I've got a purpose perhaps to
be learning it"
"I could do capacity and volume at school. But I suppose you just don't use it, you don't use them. In everyday life its there in something like a container for milk or something. But you don't think 'oh well I am dealing with capacity or volume here'"
|
"I
know there is politics behind it but it does not help us teach"
"different abilities almost capabilities of understanding maths ideas, some will get it before others, and some will be able to do it, some will have the enthusiasm to do it"
|
"if
you haven't got English and maths you are not going to do anything"
"I thought maths is something to jump over" |
"their
mental capacity is different in people so I think you can try and help
children who are say of lower ability but it may be whatever you do may
not get them much further"

"basics
are being able to manipulate number to help you in everyday life is what
I would .. what you would need to know to help you work out are you being
short changed in the shop how much things are going to cost you, that sort
of thing"
|
"I
think you know you've got their social and cultural background; you've
got their .. the actual home background that they come from"
|
"it
was my second year practice, running up to the SATS. It was a false learning
environment, it was like push for the exams again, push push push. You've
got to revise this, remember this and remember that. I didn't like it at
all"
|
"using
their own mental method as well its important. You know, why should we
dictate your adding in your head, your way of doing it. I mean they come
up with the weirdest ways of doing it, but it's actually quite sensible
when they tell you"
