Review
“This book answers the question, ‘If they can’t learn Maths the way you teach, can you teach the way they learn?’ Providing clear,
practical activities, based on huge experience and expertise, this is teaching genius. Essential reading for all teachers.”

About the Author
“In 1981 Steve moved from a successful teaching career in mainstream education to work with students who had severe specific learning difficulties. Little was known back then about dyscalculia and mathematical learning difficulties, so Steve became a pioneer teacher and researcher in the field. He has written award winning books and resources, founded an award-winning specialist school and lectured/trained teachers in 30 countries. His methods are pragmatic, successful and based on research and vast experience.”
