This book from the Schools Council discusses the aims of the Mathematics for the Majority project and includes contributions from teachers who were actively concerned with teaching mathematics at this standard. It is written in two parts:

The skills of strategy, forward thinking and logical thought are ones which make a good mathematician. Students can learn these skills through certain board games. This resource, produced by the Centre for Teaching Mathematics at the University of Plymouth, contains playing instructions for six mathematical games...

These three activities are taken from the Association of Teachers of Mathematics (ATM) publication ‘Mathematical Jo...

There are many misconceptions in the understanding of mathematics which ultimately give rise to errors. Resources addressing eight of the most commonly found are included in this collection. Each resource contains an explanation of how the misconception arises so easily, together with some exercises aimed at...

This booklet is primarily aimed at the mathematics teacher, but should also be of interest to teachers of science. It sets out a number of case studies suitable for mathematical modelling.
The book starts with an explanation of the mathematical modelling process...

This booklet is primarily aimed at the mathematics teacher, but should also be of interest to teachers of science. It sets out a number of case studies suitable for mathematical modelling with calculus. The book starts with an explanation of the mathematical modelling...

This collection from the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) contains eight resources under the headings of:
* Using Technology Creatively and Appropriately
* Improving Learning in Mathematics
* Using Rich Collaborative Tasks
* Using Cooperative Group Work...

In 2009, the Advisory Committee on Mathematics Education (ACME), who provide these resources, embarked on the Mathematical Needs Project to investigate how both the national needs and the individual needs of students, from age five to nineteen in England, could be met by a curriculum, delivery policy and...

This book from the Schools Council is one of the Mathematics for the Majority project's background guides. It brings together, from a variety of branches of mathematics, topics in which an element of pattern is strongly emphasised. In particular, the chapters cover: 1. Pattern's pervasiveness 2. Some patterns in...

These resources, from the Maths Careers website, looks at the maths behind a variety of magic tricks and was created in conjunction with More Maths Grads and the University of Leeds. Tricks and ideas include those from Rob Eastaway, Johnny Ball and others.

The resource package includes a PowerPoint...

Mathematical Activities contains ten resources exploring a range of mathematical topics in a variety of contexts. Counting problems are explored, mathematics derived from the dartboard, dominoes, pentominoes and tangrams and useful examples useful for practise and understanding such as variations on the game of...

The competition is for Scottish schools and is divided into four divisions: Primary (P7), Junior (S1 and S2), Middle (S3 and S4), and Senior (S5 and S6).  Each year there are two rounds of problems for Secondary schools and three rounds for Primary schools.

The Mathematics Assessment Resource Service (MARS) is a collaboration between the University of California at Berkeley and the Shell Centre team at the University of Nottingham, with support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The team is known around the world for its innovative work in maths education....

The Mathematics Enhancement Programme has been developed over the past few years at the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. It set out to implement in UK schools the findings of international research. The scheme of work for each year is split into two parts, A and B. The MEP course has been developed in...

The supplements of examples from the Secondary Framework for Teaching Mathematics, produced by the National Strategies, illustrate what students should be able to do within a particular strand of objectives by the end of each year. The four strands being number, algebra, statistics and geometry each of which is...
