This strength in information processing can be used in the mathematics classroom to achieve better learning outcomes.  \u003cp\u003eThis book discusses ways to teach deaf children about the four arithmetic operations through spatial representation in problem solving. Examples for the teaching of fractions and graphs are also included. These visual representations are useful to support the children's understanding of mathematical concepts and to promote peer collaboration.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe teaching programme was tested with deaf children in six schools with excellent results: the children in the project made significantly more progress in one school year than expected for either deaf and hearing children over the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis work was made possible through the generous support of The Nuffield Foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTerezinha Nunes is a British-Brazilian clinical psychologist and academic, specialising in children's literacy and numeracy, and deaf children's learning.
