Learning Mathematics with Microcomputers
This report was written post Cockcroft and at a time when a number of organisations were producing computer programs and packages for use in the mathematics classroom. The report is split into a number of sections. As a teaching aid gives detail of the variety of organisations: national projects, regional centres, LEAs, subject…
Generating Mathematical Activity in the Classroom
This report contains examples of fifteen mathematical inquiries carried out by a class of eleven year old students and is designed to demonstrate that it is possible to teach in a way which encourages students to begin to ask their own questions, to control the direction of their investigations, to make conjectures and think how…
Raising Achievement in Mathematics Project
This is the report, published in 1992, of RAMP, the Raising Achievement in Mathematics Project (1986-1989) led by Afzal Ahmed - a curriculum development research project funded by the DES. The project was primarily about influencing and developing teacher behaviour and knowledge to improve students’ learning. At the same…
Section 4: Getting Started
This section of the Teachers Evaluating and Assessing Mathematics (TEAM) project, produced by the Mathematics Centre at the University of Chichester, contains ideas, approaches, lists of useful resources and teachers' comments about their personal experiences. The aim is to develop a whole approach and attitude to learning…
