there's a bit in dead poet's society where the pupils rip the pages from their tired old textbooks, then they stand up on their desks to see the world from a different perspective, to refresh their view of the drab surroundings they find themselves in day after day. but in here it's different, it's as if keating crouched down only to whisper, 'Huddle Up...Huddle UP! We don't do mathematics to get marked and graded. We do mathematics because we are members of the human race, and the human race is filled with passion...'we journey through a world where maths is everything you thought it could be. be amazed as steph, pat and paddington throw the dusty textbooks from their classrooms and set out on a treacherous journey to provide you with kindling for your own personal fire, your own fight for the right of free expression through mathematics. from the first page, steph rolls her sleeves up and takes all who will follow through a landscape laid waste to by eons of uninspiring maths lessons. with ofsted hiding down every dark alley, you're going to have to find your own way to truth and enlightenment, to the green rolling hills of mathematical discovery and to open-ended frolicking under a blue sky. you're going to need good companions like these on this journey. and that buzzing overhead? the droning of the grey MathBots casting shadows over everywhere. and they've come to check the answers, to grade and mark all they find ... this is special, cherish this, keep it close to your heart. marvel at the possibilities, stain it's pages with marmalade, use it to abuse those piles of textbooks. remember that aladdin's wonderful lamp is within everyone's grasp. this is something to believe in, something to wrap your arms around, something to wrap your life around. this is the greatest story ever told, coming to life straight off the pages like the magical book you thought you would never own. yes, see? it's a story happening right NOW inside a classroom. perhaps it's your classroom.

A review by Sejal &Toby, Maths PGCE students at Uni of Brum

A very useful book - it will help you transform normal textbook rubbish into open ended questions that will make your lessons more interesting. It's not a book to read cover to cover, (more of a bog book, you know, reading short sections at a time, or dipping into it as and when you need.) Will they read this? Hope not... at least not in the next few weeks when we could still fail. In all honestly, it is a FAB book and you should definitely buy it, especially if you're doing the PGCE at Brum - it will help you loads!
