  'I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed reading and thinking about this book. I would make staff read it, saving all our INSET budget. It resonates so well with our Teaching and Learning and Behaviour policies that staff, for various reasons, can't, won't, don't always apply...How can anyone resist a book where the words 'heuristic' and 'oodles' occur in adjacent sentences?...It is very readable and should have a big impact on Maths teaching.'
