  1. Complete courses to develop maths students into young mathematicians Wondermaths Illuminate Access to Mathematics

  2. Wondermaths • For gifted mathematicians aged from 8 to 11 years. • Develops mathematical thinking with open and exploratory problems. • A mix of games, puzzles and mathematical investigation.

  3. Wondermaths: Structure • Full teacher’s guide with detailed session breakdown and notes. • Student workbook generates a complete record for the student to keep. • 10 sessions of approx. 90 mins. (plus an extensive extra project session on fractal geometry). • Starter problem/puzzle • Main Activity • Take away puzzle to extend the work away from school

  4. Wondermaths: Format • One Teacher Guide • Ten student workbooks • Access to the wondermaths website of support materials • Dice, counters, 24-game and target maths cards • Packed in a tough plastic storage box. • Add on packs of 10 student workbooks available. • We can make the complete course available through your MLE/VLE by direct upload.

  5. Wondermaths: Sessions 1: Using numbers 2: Getting to know the web 3: Sticky stamps 4: The maths circus 5: Algebra 6: Board games from around the world 7: Polyhedra 8: Jumping frogs 9: Miss the Ones dice game 10: Code breaking 11: Fractals project – extension activity

  6. Illuminate • The same format and structure as Wondermaths but for gifted mathematicians aged from 11 to 16 years. • Develops young mathematicians by supporting a detailed engagement with mathematical structure and mathematical proof. • CD Rom for teacher presentations. • Fully tested in ordinary school environments.

  7. Illuminate: Sessions 1 Imagine 2 Pythagoras and proof 3 Proving Pythagoras 4 Constructing roots 5 Winning ways 6 Trisections 7 Gaussian sums 8 Group theory 9 Big hands 10 Three puzzles 11 Fractals project – extension activity

  8. Access to Mathematics • For students who can be excellent mathematicians, but who are new to learning English. • Develop technical mathematical vocabulary in English while learning the maths. • Structured diagrammatic worked examples and exercises. • Target age range 13-16 years. • Very low language pre-test to assess maths needs. • Standard language post test for validation and final assessment.

  9. Access to Mathematics: Format • Teacher guide and notes with student tracking and assessment materials. • 110 page student workbook for the complete course. • Supporting web site with interactive activities. • Boxed as teacher guide plus 10 student workbooks with add-on packs available. • Also suitable for formatting for upload to MLE/VLE solutions.

  10. Access to Mathematics: Sessions 52 different topics on 2/3 sides worksheets under the headings: • Calculations • Numbers and the number system • Equations, formulae and identities • Sequences, functions and graphs • Geometrical reasoning • Transformations and coordinates • Measures and construction • Probability • Statistics • Skills Non-specialist teacher support is expected, so the materials are designed for student self teaching with some administrative support. • Help sheets on English vocabulary • Pre-test and post-test
