Recenzii
'The problems in this book would enrich the mathematical learning of any class; they are clear and challenging whilst being easily differentiable. Colin Foster has produced a resource that will extend the mathematical learning of any student, helping them to engage with mathematics, instead of just doing mathematics.' James Robinson, Teacher of Mathematics, Ripley St Thomas School, UK
'Colin Foster has once again provided a rich treasure-trove of lesson ideas that will undoubtedly serve to excite the imagination of all learners. Each lesson holds the potential to be explored for a week (if not more!). An exciting resource that I look forward to continuing to use with all of my classes.' Christopher Martin, Teacher of Mathematics, Haverstock School, UK
'Resources for Teaching Mathematics 11-14 is by far and away the most comprehensive collection of high quality mathematical activities that I have ever seen. The tasks cover such a wide range of different activities which are both accessible and interesting to reluctant mathematicians and will challenge and fascinate the most able. There are so many different ways of exploring each idea which are clearly explained in the very detailed plans that it makes it easy for every mathematics teacher to give their students a positive experience of exploring mathematics. Colin has written the book that every maths teacher should have.' Catherine Scarlett, Teacher of Mathematics, Driffield School, UK
This Book follows in the series of Resources for Teaching - the previous edition covering the ages of 14 to 16... It uses the same successful format as the previous book... covering a huge variety of areas. Each lesson is designed to make pupils think about mathematics in a stimulating and at times, unusual way. They can be tried individually or in groups and most pupils should be able to make a reasonable start on each task. Each task is flexible and the teacher can adapt or modify to suit a particular class.' N.G. Macleod, Mathematics in School, UK
