GET
IT TOGETHER
Years 5-12
A collection of over 100 co-operative problems in mathematics
for groups of 2-6 students. The problems, covering a wide
range of maths topics at various levels of difficulty, are
indexed by maths content and grade level. Six clue cards
provide the information needed to solve a problem but since
each member of the group has a different piece of information
everyone has to work together to arrive at a solution.

GET
TO KNOW YOUR CALCULATOR
Years 1-7
All of the activities in this book have been successfully
trialled throughout the primary age range with special
emphasis in the lower primary classroom. Reproducible
activities start from 'getting to know' and progress through
digit games and investigations which develop: ideas of order
and place value, children's facility with numbers, ideas and
use of patterns, flexibility with numbers and skills in
operations, the encouragement to persevere with a challenge.
Blackline Masters attractively and purposefully illustrated
throughout.

GROUP
SOLUTIONS
Cooperative Logic
Activities
Years 1-5
This guide includes more than 50 highly motivating cooperative
logic activities organised into five categories, or 'families'
(Searches, Bear Line-Ups, Secret Number, Coin Count, and
Maps). The activities are designed for groups of four
students. Each student receives a clue to a problem and needs
to share the information with all other group members to find
the solution which can ONLY be figured out by connecting the
information from ALL the clues. The book is spiral bound for
copying convenience.

GROUP
SOLUTIONS TOO!
Years 1-4
If you are looking
for further bit cooperative problems for Years 1-4 then this
is In addition to its strong emphasis on cooperation, Group
Solutions Too! like its predecessor Group Solutions, fosters
the development of many key skills and concepts in mathematics
and other subject areas. The two books emphasise different
strands of mathematics (Group Solutions Too has an
emphasis on Geometry). How ever, both books will result in
lively interactions and a sense of achievement that will
likely lead to student questions such as "Are we really
doing maths?" and "Can we do this again, soon?"

GROWTH
PATTERNS
Linear & Exponential
Growth Models
Years 7-10
How do things grow? How can growth be described and predicted?
Students explore the mathematical answers to these questions
by building models and investigating real world phenomena. The
unit presents and contrasts the two simplest discrete models
of growth: repeated addition and repeated multiplication.

IN
ALL PROBABILITY
11 sessions
Years 4-8
Students play games involving coins, spinners, dice and native
American gaming sticks. They investigate chance and
probability using concrete materials, learn how to gather and
analyse data, make predictions and draw conclusions. As they
gain direct experience, they build confidence in their ability
to explore probability and statistics. Cooperation is stressed
and students find that mathematics is fun!

Investigating
Mathematics with calculators in the
Middle Grades
Activities with
the TI-30Xa SE and TI-34 Calculators
Years 6-10
The activities in this book are a useful tool for integrating
calculators into the maths program. These useful applications
walk users through the concepts of scientific notation, root
and powers, averages, sequences and patterns. The workbook
includes detailed teacher notes as well as calculator
keystroke and instruction sheets.

INVOLVING
DISSOLVING
4 sessions
Years 2-5
Students learn about the concepts of dissolving, evaporation,
and crystallisation. Using familiar substances, they create
homemade 'gel-o', colourful disks, and crystals that emerge on
black paper to make a 'starry night'.
