Bring Mathematics to life

Work in Mathematics can often appear to lack context and meaning. These imaginative publications provide schools with the chance to bring to life the teaching of key topics. Each pack in this series sets out to explore mathematical topics in depth by:

• providing an historical and cultural background to the subject matter
• developing a broad framework for a topic in the context of a scheme of work
• offering teaching suggestions and activities
• providing extension and enrichment materials
• suggesting further lines of enquiry and background reading
• including ideas and materials for assessment
• ensuring opportunities for a variety of teaching styles.

In-depth information for each topic

Each topic includes:

• background material in an interesting and relevant context
• classroom materials for practical work, investigations, problem-solving and group activities
• worksheets for class or homework
• teacher’s notes providing answers, activity outlines, curriculum references and opportunities for differentiation and assessment.

Note that this series is also available as part of the Digital Library for Mathematics KS4.
