This book by a long-time creator will appeal to enthusiasts of mathematics and puzzles as well as fans of modular origami. Over thirty elegant projects are absorbing to make and rewarding to assemble - without glue or scissors. When finished, not only do the projects please the eye and stimulate the imagination, they have a bonus feature: they move, spin or change shape in unique and fascinating ways.All in one place, fully diagrammed - clear step-by-step instructions with thoughts behind the folds. Many have been improved during years of experimentation and experiences of making and teaching."beautiful and elegant designs...immaculate diagrams." British Origami Society"WXYZ model is so iconic...the most elegant model in all of modular origami." trivialknot"his modular creations are fine examples of original and economical folding" David Petty, author of Origami A-B-C and Origami 1-2-3

The mathematics of surfaces is a fascinating subject - lying as it does at the heart of much architecture, art and maths, engineering and science. John Sharp's innovative use of sliceforms to explore the properties of surfaces is here produced in a systematic way, providing the reader the tools to build surfaces from paper to explore their mathematical properties. The extensive commentary explains the mathematics behind particular surfaces. Chapters on using computers to generate slices and sample templates complete the book. An invaluable exercise in practical geometry that will stimulate ideas for the student, professionals involved in modelling surfaces and the enthusiast. Contents:· Introduction and Basic Techniques· Contours and profiles· Properties and Types of Surfaces· Surfaces of Revolution· Ruled Surfaces· Surfaces from Equations: Algebraic surfaces· Polyhedra· Variations and explorations· Using the Computer· Templates and further resources

This book represents a stunning and mathematically accurate summary of what you need to know for Year 1 A Level Mathematics. Chapters are linked to the topics of Tarquin A Level textbook - designed to be used with any Board. But as a summary of each topic, no better exists - perfect for revision, for checking understanding or even putting on a wall to remind you of key facts.

We all like to think we can solve a murder given the right clues. Here''s another chance to use mathematics skills to identify "whodunnit" - following the great success of the first book in the series Mini Mathematical Murder Mysteries.The students are given the data or a diagram to solve a "problem" - which is always which of four characters is a murderer. To find out, the student must solve all or most of the questions on the sheet to identify wrong answers as well as correct ones. Problems are staged, so there is an element of suspense for the individual...and racing between students to solve the mystery. 12-14 years

This is a collection of 36 photocopiable masters for Domino games for ages 7-11 on a variety of core topics. They are ideal for group revision and reinforcement.All the dominoes should form a continuous loop when each question is matched to its correct answer. This means that the students can self assess their work to some extent; thus reducing workload for the teacher. The games have been used to start lessons, end lessons on a bit of fun, as a main activity and for end of term fun.They can either be prepared in advance, kept ready in the cupboard or cut out by students before trying to loop them. The students can even be involved in making their own sets which they get to use again, share with other classes, or display on the wall.Topics include: Addition and subtraction, 1-3 digits Metric Conversions Decimals Fractions Division, Multiplication, Doubling and Halving HCF/LCF Percentages Rounding Perimeters Time

Knowing the order in which arithmetical operations take place needs to be instinctive for students - starting to learn about them in upper primary school and consolidating until the age of 14. This book ΓÇóbrings to the teacher - or parent''s - aid: worked examples, questions and puzzles. ΓÇódispels any myths, misconceptions and misunderstandings concerning the order of operations ΓÇófosters an enjoyment of problem and puzzle solving involving order of operations.

The book deals with important matters around leading a mathematics department, and some approaches to dealing with those matters, in ways which promote reflection and enquiry as a route to excellence. There is a movement toward building a successful cadre of mathematics teachers led by the NCETM and subject associations reflected in the new Chartered Mathematics Teacher qualification and masters in leadership for new and aspiring heads of department. This book is born of this movement, and deals with some of the issues that new and aspiring heads of department will have to address as they start on this endeavor. In order to compile this book, the authors invited respected mathematics educators and theorists to contribute, asking them to be very clear that they were 'putting theory into practice' for subject leaders in mathematics. Many of the authors work alongside current leaders of mathematics departments and the others are actively engaged in schools or with teachers of mathematics. A stimulating read for all current and aspiring heads of department.

Lesley Higgin’s tried and tested activities in this volume will enliven hundreds of classrooms and homework sessions across the world. An experienced teacher and author, she brings practicality and a sense of fun to what can often seem dull learning and reinforcement tasks.The Junior Mathstraks series provides excellent one page activities for use in class or in revision at home. Each book is available in book and ebook form. This volume is an extension for ages 10 to 12 years.

The challenges in this book are mainly designed for able mathematicians in upper primary or lower secondary although many of the tasks are appropriate for a much wider range of ages. Extensively trialled through the author's work as a Mathematics Advisor

A team race is a classic idea - it as simple as your team wins by answering all the questions correctly in the fastest time! The author used the idea in a lesson once and it worked so well it became something he did whenever that topic came up, as students enjoyed the activity so much, and the quality of learning and discussion taking place was very high.The first book in the series Mathematical Team Races for younger students has been widely used in secondary schools. This second book in the series contains activities based on Advanced Level core mathematics content.It can be incredibly difficult to find interesting resources as alternatives to a textbook, and hard to engage some post-16 students. Yet the author has found that post-16 students enjoy these activities just as much as younger ones and they are just as effective in developing their learning. They still enjoy the competitive nature of the activities and they promote rich discussions in overcoming misconceptions when tackling the problems in small groups.Paul Hambleton is an experienced teacher working in the UK.

Shows how patterns can be built from tiles which are squares, triangles or hexagons. The book shows how to design tiles which are particularly interesting and which fit together to make attractive patterns. Included are 12 full pages of patterns to colour.
