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…
The Core and More
This resource has been compiled primarily for mathematics teachers of the 16-18 age range through support from the Mathematics Centre at the University of Chichester by four teachers who were central to the RAMP A level course from its inception. They were released from their teaching to analyse and evaluate the course in operation,…
Engaging Mathematics 3
The third booklet in the Engaging Mathematics series, from the Mathematics Centre at the University of Chichester, invites the reader to consider different ways of looking at situations. Being able to relate to situations, experiences, structures, language and form is an important feature of learning. This is particularly so in mathematics…
Engaging Mathematics 2
Engaging Mathematics 2, produced the Mathematics Centre at the University of Chichester, invites the reader to reflect on their own mathematical activity. Do you tackle mathematics by turning to paper and pen, the computer, experimental apparatus or think in images and/or symbols? It is likely that the reader uses each process at…
Engaging Mathematics 1
Engaging Mathematics 1, produced by the Mathematics Centre at the University of Chichester, first invites the reader to ask questions that relate to given situations. Mathematical growth often mirrors the questions and problems posed at the time. The reader is taken through some past developments in order to reflect on how aspects…
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…
