Mathematical Thinking for Primary Classes

Mathematical thinking, like language acquisition, develops very early. Unfortunately, while we marvel at young mathematical geniuses or prodigies like McLaren or Ruth Lawrence, we rarely attempt to teach these skills at the primary level, where it would have the maximum impact. This book attempts to do just that. It requires very little mathematical content or skills beyond basic addition, subtraction and simple multiplication - even helping to consolidate them while developing mathematical reasoning, especially useful for 11+..
