A basic primary mathematics series from the late 1960s.

This resource focusses on measuring the lengths and widths of leaves from a tree, placing the data in a table and calculating the mean average of each. In this activity learners will measure the lengths and widths of six leaves from a single tree. They will place this data in a table and then calculate the mean...

The purpose of this book, from the National Numeracy Strategy, is to identify the words and phrases that students need to understand and use if they are to make good progress in mathematics. It was designed to support the National Numeracy Strategy alongside the...

This HMSO resource from her Majesty’s Inspectors was one of a series intended to stimulate discussion and debate within the teaching profession. Published in 1979 following a two year survey, it was seen that mathematics was given a high profile by teachers but...

Mathematics begins (1967) is a revised and enhanced version of the Circle series ‘Beginnings' produced by the Nuffield Mathematics Project. As with the earlier guide it is concerned with students in their first few years at school and how their experiences of life gradually extend their mathematical thinking....

From 1998, under the direction of Professor David Burghes, a new mathematics course for primary schools in the UK was developed and trialled. This course, the Mathematics Enhancement Programme (MEP) Primary Extension proved to be very successful in enhancing mathematical progress in trial schools. Improvement in...

This paper sets out to give an understanding of what was distinctive about MEPP training and teaching, and summarises the findings from a research project to evaluate its effectiveness in improving students' achievement in mathematics.

During the development of the programme the government implemented its...

This glossary, from the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency (QCDA), was first developed in response to requests from teachers and others during the National Curriculum consultation in 1999. The explanations of mathematical terms refer to the terms as they...
