Barbara and Derek Ball will work on one or two rich mathematical tasks which are designed to help learners use and extend their mathematical knowledge and understanding while working on engaging activities. The tasks are intended to develop confident and creative mathematicians who are willing to take risks, engage with others and take responsibility for their own learning.
Barbara is author of the ATM publications: Rich Task Maths 1 and 2.
Sat 29 Sep 2012
Rich tasks: Algebra
We began with two short starter ideas which offered a number or algebra solution. A carousel of longer investigations / algebra problems included some practical Algebra games from the ATM publication, What kind of game is algebra? A brief update on the draft primary national curriculum included a couple of ideas for helping develop algebraic thinking with children in primary schools.
