Product Description
Sequence machines contains seven activities that that can be used flexibly to develop understanding of sequences across a wide range of ages and abilities.Each activity includes ideas for whole class work and challenges for pupils to work at individually or in small groups.Other curriculum areas involved are mental arithmetic including number inequalities, number properties, ratio; and, optionally, work with formulae, including solving linear and quadratic equations and rearranging formulae.There are also many opportunities for problem solving. These involve exploring, generalising, multi-step reasoning and proving. There are detailed teacher's notes for all the activities which can be printed out. ... Read more

Product Description
Is it Possible? contains four activities that that can be used to help decide whether a particular mathematical object or situation is possible to create. Two of the activities are about number digits puzzles, one is about algebraic formulae and one about statistics. Each activity includes ideas for whole class work and challenges for pupils to work at individually or in small groups.Other curriculum areas involved are properties of numbers (multiples, primes, square numbers, triangle numbers); manipulating, substituting into and factorising algebraic formulae; and mean, median, mode and range.There are also many opportunities for problem solving. These involve exploring, generalising, multi-step reasoning and proving, including finding counter-examples.There are detailed teacher's notes for all the activities which can be printed out. ...

There are better textbooks
I have found several inconsistences in this textbook.In most chapters the model is not introduced until "after" the first problem is worked through, not ensuring that there is any understanding of the model.I've noticed a lack of strict adherence to the model, and because of that there are few reinforcements of a students basic understanding.There are assumptions that the student is not at all confused or weak on any of the basics, and that leads to further confusion.Although the textbook is supposed to be setting a foundation for continued math learning, it does more to confuse the student than enlighten.For the money spent, new or used, this textbook is far from being a useful tool.

Product Description
Maths Investigator is a secret spy agency whose mission is to make maths fun and exciting. The series has been extensively trialled and developed to offer schools a fresh and exciting way to combine the content and structure of the 2006 Mathematics Framework with the principles of the Primary Strategy 'Excellence and Enjoyment' guidance - to raise standards whilst making learning fun. The Maths Investigator approach focuses on developing the key skills of problem solving, speaking and listening, and using and applying maths. It uses the engaging spy context to integrate maths into problem solving and give pupils a clear purpose for learning. The Interactive CD sits at the heart of the Maths Investigator resources, enabling teachers to embed ICT seamlessly into teaching and learning. Used alongside the Teacher's Guide units and Casebook, this unique resource offers a truly integrated learning experience perfect for display on interactive whiteboards.Animated messages from 'M' - the head of the Maths Investigator spy agency - excite and motivate children, whilst intuitive and powerful teaching tools (including the NNS ITPs and useful mind-mapping software) use familiar models and images to support teaching of mathematical concepts.Clear navigation provides one-touch links to all supporting resources needed to run the lessons and simple, editable planning screens enable teachers to add links to their own resources. ...

Product Description
The Interactive Math Dictionary CD-ROM is a database of mathematical topics combining the functionality of a dictionary with the interactivity of a CD-ROM. Like a dictionary, students, teachers and scientists can explore over 4,000 math entries from A to Z. Unlike a dictionary, a lot of the terms are active so users can investigate the definitions by plotting, changing parameters. Then they see the mathematical definition in action! This computation and interactivity is provided by the build in of Maple, the powerful computer algebra program. ... Read more
