About me (the author !) I taught for twenty-odd years in several socio-economically deprived schools in the West Midlands (of the UK); working across the age range from early years to year 6. Then I moved into local authority support teams, firstly as a Behaviour and Reintegration advisory teacher, and then supporting Looked After Children. via distance learning projects and computer loans,as well as in person. I have freely shared resources for many years, mostly via my website:
w w w . j o h n a n d g w y n . c o . u k. My first published books (Ginn’s “Maths Express” series) came out in 2000 but are now out of print. I was one of the authors of Nelson Thornes’ “Classworks Numeracy” series. More recently I contributed to Heinemann’s KS 3 Maths scheme “Level Up”. In September 2011 "restructuring" gave me the opportunity to early retire to spend more time with my first grandchild.
