How I Wish I'd Taught Maths: Lessons Learned from Research, Conversations with Experts, and 12 Years of Mistakes
Popular Science
An experienced maths teacher's account of how cognitive-science and education research overturned many of his cherished classroom beliefs. Timothy Gowers, normally skeptical of education writing, read all 450 pages cover to cover and found it genuinely thought-provoking — it even shifted his own view toward building fluency before deep understanding.

“I found it highly thought provoking. I don't yet know what the result of that provocation will be, but I'm pretty sure there will be one.”
Gowers devoted a full, warmly positive blog post to the book in December 2018, recommending it to anyone interested in mathematics teaching.
