Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Mike Askew is Distinguished Professor of Mathematics Education in the School of Education at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, having previously held Professorships at King s College, University of London and Monash University, Melbourne. From April 2018 Mike is pleased to be the President of the Mathematical Association. Originally a primary school teacher, Mike moved into teacher education and developed his interest in research. He has directed many research projects including the influential 'Effective Teachers of Numeracy in Primary Schools' and was deputy director of the five-year Leverhulme Numeracy Research Programme. His research has been widely published both in the academic arena and as books and resources for teachers, including Transforming Primary Mathematics (Routledge). He writes a regular column in Teach Primary magazine, and co-authored (with Rob Eastaway) the highly successful books, Maths for Mums and Dads and Maths on the Go (Random House). Mike was one of four founding directors of BEAM education, a publishing house specialising in producing resources to support primary mathematics, and he was latterly joint managing director of BEAM (with Sheila Ebbutt). With Sheila he also developed the successful primary mathematics scheme, Numeracy Focus published by Heinemann. Mike believes that mathematical activity can be, and should be, engaging and enjoyable for all children and that the majority of children can come to see themselves as mathematicians, in the sense of having confidence in their ability to do maths.
