Rich Mathematical Activities

Synopsis: Explores different challenges for different pupils in learning maths - for example, open-ended problems like brick-building. The idea is to let pupils choose their own level, and teachers are free to spend more time with individual pupils. Comparisons are made between a special school for secondary children with moderate learning difficulties and a school in Newhaven. The accent is on the children sharing ideas. The main method used in the special school is ‘Maxbox’. Both schools stress shared learning.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
