Why book 'The Extraordinary World of Maths'
Putting Maths in context to create hooks for children's learning. Sounds like the holy grail, doesn't it? But the whole-school, downloadable extraordinary Maths packages from Connect can help you get there - by placing pupils in immersive, character-led worlds, where the maths has a purpose - and at 0.4 pence per pupil for a two-form entry school they represent excellent value for money!In The Race into Space, they’ll meet Major Tom of the British Isles Space Agency, using maths to select the UK’s next astronaut.
The Riddle of the Sphinx sees them working with Egyptologist Dr Colorado Smith, handling concepts of “measurement” to solve a millennia-old puzzle.
Taking part in The Benefactor involves meeting entrepreneur Benny Factor and using the maths of money to help a disadvantaged village.
Times’ Tables Trattoria
Through sheer head work, Trevi Times made his dream come true – by opening his own Italian restaurant, Times’ Tables Trattoria! But with his team of chefs wasting too much food (and spending too much money), that dream is on the verge of turning into a nightmare. If only there were some children who could use their knowledge and understanding of their times tables to help him keep his trattoria open!
