Sue Fox has taught all ages in the primary sector and was a primary school headteacher for 10 years. Since 1998, she has held a variety of posts including Senior Mathematics lecturer at University of Cumbria. She is a director of Foxes Boxes, Mathematical Resource Company. She is co-author of Primary Mathematics, Knowledge and Understanding: A course book for meeting 4/98 Standards (Learning Matters, 2000) Liz Surtees is Assessment Officer at Bute Medical School, University of St Andrews, UK, and has taught mathematics across the school age range and in further education and higher education contexts.

‘The term "mathematics across the curriculum" can all too easily result in children engaging in relatively low-level mathematical tasks. This book, however, considers how mathematics can be used and applied in a variety of cross-curricular contexts so the integrity of mathematics is maintained. Sue and Liz offer teachers, from trainees to experienced practitioners, a wide range of practical, accessible ideas that will enable children to deepen their understanding and their experience of learning mathematics. I shall definitely put this book on any mathematics education reading list.' Mike Ollerton, experienced teacher, teacher trainer and consultant, UK
