More Geometry Snacks is a mathematical puzzle book filled with geometrical figures and questions designed to challenge, confuse and ultimately enlighten enthusiasts of all ages. It is the companion volume to the highly successful Geometry Snacks.

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.

This beautiful model to cut out and glue together is the result of arranging five interpenetrating cubes in a highly symmetrical way. Each cube is printed in its own colour and so it is easy to see that exactly two cubes meet at every vertex and that there are twelve surfaces defining each face of each cube.

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.

This beautiful model to cut out and glue together has twelve sharp spikes emerging from pentagonal cups and forming ten pairs of parallel planes, each in a different colour.

All real life mathematics is problem solving. And all those fascinated by puzzles are problem solvers at heart. But thinking mathematically is a skill we have to learn and one which it is easy to forget. Recreational mathematicians and students can practise problem solving in different ways. In this book solving puzzles is practised in a different way from most books they will have seen before: - Readers get no clues to what the puzzle is about - They may take hours or even days to work out what is being asked of them - Even after that, some problems may have no solution The result of this challenge is a really challenging book that will fascinate anyone interested in puzzles and recreational mathematicians in particular. This volume contains 36 puzzles ranging from quite easy to more difficult. The sister volume More Without Words: Mathematical Puzzles to Confound and Delight is also available - containing 36 more puzzles with more easy and fewer testing ones.

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.

- This book explains dyscalculia -- but for the first time from the perspective of a sufferer. - It is estimated up to 5% of the population suffers from the condition - Often humorous, sufferers and their carers will find it a relief and a joy to share experiences and learn more about how to cope.

Kate and David Crennell produced a third edition for Tarquin some years ago.The plans and illustrations of all 59 of the stellations of the icosahedron were redrawn and there was a new introduction by Professor Coxeter. This edition has now been revised and updated and now includes colour plates for the first time.Many readers will wish to use the plates and descriptions included in The Fifty-nine Icosahedra to draw and make paper models of some or all of the stellations of the icosahedron and in so doing, gain a greater understanding of the stellation process. For a thorough understanding of the process of stellation and for splendid examples of beautiful polyhedra, this book will be a valuable addition to any mathematics library.As Richard Guy put it in the Preface of the Third Edition: "We mathematicians know how beautiful our subject is, but are often frustrated when we try to explain this to the man-in-the-street. But here at least is one place where we can simply say, 'Look!'"

The world of beautiful mathematical diagrams has been explored by Pat Storey. From the fascinating variety of fractals, spirals and more, she has created a series of stunning quilts. The book contains patterns and detailed instructions for the making of fourteen small quilts; with diagrams and guidance for the construction of four styles of fullsize quilts, using the small quilts as blocks.
