Children Think This book from Australia is a problem solving resource which will be useful for many teachers of Upper Primary and Lower Secondary pupils. It offers a fine collection of 220 interesting situations and the problems are quick to set up and to adapt to different classes. The main emphasis is on spatial and numerical problems and full solutions and comments are included. £13.50 | Numbers This new and extended edition of this classic book is now back in print. It deals in a light-hearted way with all the numbers from 0 to 1000 plus a few chosen very large numbers as well. Interesting facts and properties of each of the numbers are given together with informative and colourful and often quirky photographs and illustrations. It contains fascinating material for any class at any level and it is an absolute must for every school or private library. If you teach maths or are just interested in the properties of numbers, then you will find masses of interest here. |
Mathematics Appreciation This book takes the form of a set of ten enrichment topics and provides for each background information and also suggested assignments and their answers. The topics are: the Fibonacci sequence, the golden rectangle, the mathematics of paperfolding, non-Euclidean geometries, optical illusions, flexagons, the cycloid and paradoxes, topology and magic squares. The final chapter is called 'The mathematical library assignment' and offers a range of interesting topics to be researched. £8.50 (No VAT on this product) | ||||

Mathematical Scandals This book is a highly readable account of the human side of mathematics. It describes how important discoveries were made during the course of often chaotic lives and there are vignettes of crucial events and occasions for many famous mathematicians, including Newton, Einstein, Gauss and Cantor. It also tells the remarkable story of Ada Lovelace who became the first computer programmer, long before there were real computers to program! £7.50 | Four Colours Suffice The ‘four colour problem’ has been a source of delight and puzzlement to generations of school children and budding mathematicians. Just one example of a diagram which requires five colours would be enough to disprove it and yet one has never been found. How could a problem be so easy to state and so difficult to prove? This interesting book deals with various attempts to solve it and of the famous mathematicians who have contributed to the solution. £7.99 | |||

The Joy of Mathematics Theoni Pappas has always been fascinated by the relationship between mathematics and the everyday world. She finds mathematics everywhere and this book is full of surprising insights into aspects of art, music, science and nature. To browse through this book is a delight for anyone with a taste for mathematical ideas. £7.50 | More Joy of Mathematics There were too many ideas for just one book and this second book continues her genuinely fresh and enthusiastic approach to a host of mathematical concepts taken from the everyday world and from literature. A fine resource for teachers. £7.50 | Mathematical Footprints This book begins ‘As we look around us, occasionally we see subtle impressions of the presence of mathematics. Some are current, others are left from past centuries...‘ Tracking and discovering the trail of mathematical footprints from prehistoric times to the present has produced this collection of well researched and interesting examples of mathematical thought in action. From the routine but essential spotting of errors in credit card numbers to the ground rules for the creation of wonderful and imaginative modern buildings £7.50 | ||||

Lesson Starters & Enders These two books offer a range of activities associated with number and are designed for whole class interactive teaching. Photocopiable resource sheets are included and they require the use of certain other resources such as dice to introduce chance and to provoke rapid responses. Reckonings £5.00 | ||||||
| | | | | | |
Practical Activities Investigations and Games This material is flexible enough to cater for a wide range of ability and development within each stage. Each of the four books includes substantial teacher’s notes together with photocopiable worksheets and suggestions for experiments, some based on the real world and some with an element of fun and fantasy. The aim is to provide activities which can easily be adapted to circumstances and particular classes. | ||
