This book focuses on how major curriculum reform shapes mathematics in schools and the practice of mathematics teachers. It details in real time the complete life span of the implementation of a major government numeracy programme and its effect on teachers.

But rather than starting out with a conception of mathematics derived from the many histories mathematics might claim as its own we centre the analysis instead within the social practices that surround the teaching of the subject to children aged four to eleven in English primary schools today.
