MATHEMATICAL MODELS
Peter Lorimer - A
New Zealand Author
Using straws and hat elastic various mathematical shapes are
explored. The elastic allows a shape to be moved to make
another. A resource that can be used for geometric
investigations for displays.

MATHEMATICAL
BEGINNINGS
Problem Solving for Young
Children
Years 1-4
We believe that this is the type of resource that teachers of
the young have been waiting for. The ideas and reproducible
activities are aimed at developing children's knowledge and
understanding of maths by involving them in a variety of
stimulating problem solving activities: using manipulatives
includes town planning; leaves are used for counting and
filling space; A 15pp story as a source of mathematical ideas;
using 'The Jar'' and a collection of objects inside to
generate mathematics. Many maths games.

MATHEMATICAL
JOURNEYS
An Environmental Mathematics Resource
For Teachers
This resource is written to provide a series of
environmentally linked contexts, which are realistic,
meaningful and enjoyable. It covers much of the learning and
teaching of mathematics defined by the curriculum statement
Mathematics in the New Zealand Curriculum.
Throughout this resource, the emphasis is on raising student's
awareness of environmental issues through problem-solving
activities that are enjoyable and foster their appreciation
and wise use of the environment.

MATHEMATICAL
NOVELTIES
Practical activities designed to motivate the teaching &
learning of number.
Students will be amazed by the Mathematical tricks contained
in this book. Teachers will be grateful for the answers and
detailed explanations given. Mathematical Novelties will help
children to see the magic of mathematics and help them
appreciate its power and beauty.

MATHEMATICS
ASSESSMENT
Myths, models, good questions &practical suggestions.
This booklet is a collection of examples of assessment
techniques that focus on student thinking. As the forms of
mathematics teaching become more diverse-including open-ended
investigations, cooperative group activities, and emphasis on
thinking and communication-so too must the form of assessment
change. No longer can we rely on multiple answer and short
answer tests to provide all the information on students'
mathematical attainment, progress, and proficiencies.

MATHEMATICS
CUBED
Investigations with
interlocking cubes
Years 6-10
Here are some really challenging problems, many that have
relevance to everyday-life, where use of the interlocking cube
considerably helps the solving process. Shape and space,
number, handling data, and some of the problems also involve
an introduction to the use of algebra. Backed up with an
unusually thorough set of teacher notes.

FOR TEDDY BEARS
Problem solving activities for young children
Years 1-4
It is fascinating to watch the mathematics that young people
can generate themselves as they experiment with ideas offered,
invent their own and set each other tasks and projects - all
with A TUB OF TEDDIES.
Measuring, estimating, counting, handling data, building,
making patterns and more. This delightfully illustrated
reproducible book supports the use of Teddies as manipulatives
that have a special meaning to young children, are fun to use
and practical in so many ways.

WITH CUBES
Problem solving
activities
- Young
Children (Years 1-4)
- Older Children (Years 4-8)
The two books are designed to develop children's mathematical
thinking and knowledge through the use of interlocking cubes (Multilink,
or similar) in a varied range of open ended problem solving
activities.
Each book contains 30, two page, reproducible activities, each
of which is superbly illustrated in a manner that children
enjoy.
The topics covered are: number, algebra, measurement, shape,
space, and data handling. All activities follow a similar
pattern. One side introduces an activity with words and
pictures, and Extensions and Challenges are on the reverse
side. They can be tackled by the individual child or small
groups of children. The authors' overriding aim in developing
these ideas has been to let children know that mathematics can
be creative, challenging and richly rewarding.
