Many readers will relate, not only as teachers, but also from their own memories of childhood and the rules by which pupils were then taught, to the challenge Julia Anghileri discusses in this article. Her research on effective and ineffective strategies for division sheds light on the problem of how to develop ‘number sense’ in pupils and a thorough understanding of the calculation methods they use.
