    Booker, Bond, Sparrow and Swan (2014) stated that the effective teaching of mathematics takes a large level of skill this is because before even starting a lesson the teacher is faced with the difficult task of challenging the children’s perceptions, and misconceptions of the subject matter that they have come to understand before taking their first official lesson in mathematics, as well as other challenges they will be also be faced with the children’s attitudes and opinions about how they feel about the subject matter. Ofsted (2014) stated that a good quality mathematics education provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, promotes an appreciation of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject itself. This therefore serves as evidence to show how it is crucial when teaching in a primary school to have a positive, influential attitude this might be by encouraging an infectious enthusiasm…

    Being a student at Queen’s University taught me that the opportunities we seek out teach us about our character and more importantly, about our passions in life; they help us to define our goals and will lead us to be successful. I have been fortunate to gain valuable experience as a Queen’s student, orphanage volunteer, and drop in center volunteer. My experiences shaped my understanding of teaching and learning processes as I learned the valuable qualities that are exhibited by successful educators that establish supportive learning environments for their students. While working in Romanian orphanages this past summer, I learned how each child presents their own challenges as they learn, and communicate differently. In a short time with a great deal of patience and dedication I learned enough of the language as I led games, bible studies, and helped children with conflict resolution.…

    Strong subject knowledge is seen to be essential for effective teaching, Schulman, (1986,1987) Eraut,(1994), Turner-Bisset (2001).Throughout the processes of planning, assessment, differentiation or feedback, proficient subject knowledge is deemed vital. With the new National Curriculum, DfE.(2013) focusing strongly on the acquisition of knowledge, the need for teachers to sustain high levels of subject knowledge across the curriculum has never been more crucial. Demands on a teachers’ subject knowledge can be particularly challenging across the Primary curriculum, when practitioners are expected to have a substantial level of subject knowledge in all curriculum subjects. Alexander et al (1992, p.2) suggest that the level of subject knowledge…
