This brand new collection brings enrichment to this area of study, designed to stretch a young person’s thinking. The activities can even provide a strong base for applying further study in Maths.
Enriching Maths presents activities that are based within the national curriculum but that will also enrich and extend it. The activities are presented in three sections:
- 10-minute activities
- Lesson-length enrichment activities for Key Stage 3 and 4
- Day-long enrichment and extension activities.
Each activity is accompanied by teacher’s notes on how to use it and suggestions for further work and research, should your students wish to take the project even further. The book also includes a CD-Rom containing all of the activity task sheets for ease of reproduction.
