Maths with Everything
This Nuffield Mathematics Project book is concerned with the mathematical experiences of students from five to seven years old. These experiences help students to acquire concepts, which lead later to skill in computation. This skill is based on understanding rather than on rote learning. It is a companion to a film of the same title…
