Starting
Points
The activities
in this book were originally published in the centre pages of the journal
Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom (APMC). They have been collected
together, modified and enhanced ready for classroom use. In addition,
some new activities, answers and reproducible pages have been written
to complete this teacher resource. Starting Points provides more than
50 stimulus ideas for teachers. In order to promote students' mathematical
thinking there is an emphasis on discussion, open questions and use
of rich mathematical situations. A good collection of easy to use activities
that will get your classroom buzzing!
