Primary Mathematics: Integrating Theory with Practice is a comprehensive introduction to teaching mathematics in Australian primary schools. Closely aligned with the Australian Curriculum, it provides a thorough understanding of measurement, geometry, patterns and algebra, data and statistics, and chance and probability. The fourth edition provides support for educators in key aspects of teaching: planning, assessment, digital technologies, diversity in the classroom and integrating mathematics content with other learning areas. It also features a new chapter on the role of education support in the mathematics classroom. Each chapter has been thoroughly revised and is complemented by classroom snapshots demonstrating practical application of theories, activities to further understanding and reflection questions to guide learning. New in this edition are 'Concepts to consider', which provide a guided explanation and further discussion of key concepts to support pre- and in-service teachers' learning and teaching of the fundamentals of mathematics.

Telling Part of the Story of Northern Tasmanian WWI ANZACs is a book that investigates 165 ANZAC servicemen named on the War Memorial at Holy Trinity Church, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. There are many significant stories located within this set of names. A number of the servicemen were at Gallipoli and some were killed there; others received important awards for bravery during WWI, including Cyril Abey, who received the Military Medal. The stories of these men illustrate a cross-section of Tasmania's and Australia¿s contribution to the 1914-1918 war. In part the book reflects the Australians involved in the First World War. There was a wave of initial enlistments that peaked in 1915, but enlistments continued on for the rest of the war. Although many in the public tend to think of the Gallipoli campaign as the major Australian battle of the First World War, it was the Western Front that really tested the ANZACs, particularly the Somme campaigns. The war experience of each of the 165 men is described. In addition, the context of the war is outlined and its effects on Tasmania and Australia are reviewed. The authors have also worked to bring out the voices of the ANZACs by including poems that have only had limited publication. The book has also tried to address the complex issue of ethics and war. For this, Rev Ken Box has provided an analysis of some of the issues associated with the notion of a `just war¿. The book has a companion in the form of a web site (http://165anzacs.org/). One of the innovations associated with this book and the webpage project is to have the data set generated on the 165 ANZACs available in a spreadsheet form that schools can use in their classrooms. Information on 165 ANZACs addressed in this book is designed to try to give a voice to those who experienced the horrific scenes of destruction and torment that is war, and aims to try to allow the reader and user to reflect on the First World War and its meaning in a contemporary Australian context.
