Poppy in pieces

Sue lives in South London with her husband and Westie. She used to be a primary school teacher but then went into research to explore how children could learn maths more effectively. She has lectured in maths education in the UK and internationally. She has published a range of books, from academic books for teachers to short stories for children. Sue has run 10 marathons and 3 ultras, and she likes running along the Thames Path looking for kingfishers and egrets. She also likes curling up on the sofa to read, especially children's literature. Since she was a child Sue has been a birdwatcher and she especially likes doing that in Scotland. She also likes growing and searching out wildflowers, and eating chocolate. She has two children and eight grandchildren.
