Developing Maths Eyes

pack

Everybody uses mathematics in their life but sometimes they don’t call it mathematics. These ‘everyday’ mathematics skills often involve the use of complicated mathematical ideas and techniques. Individuals underestimate their mathematical abilities because they often consider the mathematics they can do as ‘common sense’ and the tasks they can’t do as ‘mathematics’.

This pack includes many activities to help to develop “Maths Eyes”. The range of activities include going ‘out and about’, talking about pictures and photographs; ‘Learning with Maths Problem Pictures’; doing maths investigations; developing a Maths Trail and keeping a Maths Diary.
