Any reasonable offer considered - postage to be paid or collect from just south of Birmingham. <br />I also have many years of Mathematics in Schools, some Primary Mathematics, Strategies (a primary maths and problem solving publication) and Questions (science and technology for primary). <br />Loads of books too but haven't got round to listing them. <br />MUST go as I need the space .... http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1327928940/0#0 ATM Forum/MT Journal http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1327928940/0#0 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:09:00 GMT In my article I suggested that the modern subject associations' purposes include <br />•      providing a professional home which transcends teachers’ immediate work context and enables them to explore with others the nature of the subjects they teach and how best to enable learning<br />•      facilitating local, regional and national events that enable shared learning<br />•      informing members and the wider community of developments in the subject<br />•      collating the views of practitioners and experts to influence policymakers<br /><br />To what extent do you agree?<br /><br />Are there other purposes?<br /><br />Is this enough to ensure a vibrant and sustainable community? <br /><br />I look forward to hearing from you. http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1322984444/0#0 ATM Forum/General http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1322984444/0#0 Sun, 4 Dec 2011 07:40:44 GMT Hello, I am new to this forum (and also have problems with it logging me out) but never mind!  I wanted to draw your attention to a blog I have <b>just</b> started about maths teaching called 'thinking on your feet'.. thinkingonyourfeet.tumblr.com <br /><br />It is about sharing ideas to get students moving around or outside the classroom.  Have a look please, let me know what you think; if you would like to contribute something that would be even better! <br /><br />Thanks, Danny http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1237024931/5#5 ATM Forum/ATM Resources http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1237024931/5#5 Sat, 5 Nov 2011 07:10:09 GMT What is main concept for solving algebraic equations in Mathematics? http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1316504015/0#0 ATM Forum/Secondary http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1316504015/0#0 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 07:33:35 GMT How do we stop the results-driven madness of early entry? Some schools are entering students four times for the linear exams through years 10 and 11 - drilling them on the first half of the higher paper - until they get a C. The new assessment objectives show no sign of stopping this. if anything the situation's becoming worse. No wonder vacancies for heads of maths seem to be running at record levels! http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1313043972/1#1 ATM Forum/General http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1313043972/1#1 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 14:38:14 GMT Strange title for a topic, there're lots of people who are successful in life even without math <img src="http://www.atm.org.uk/forum/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/smiley.gif" border="0" alt="Smiley" title="Smiley" /> http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1274790018/3#3 ATM Forum/General http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1274790018/3#3 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 14:36:28 GMT There's a saying that Math is the only universal language clear to everybody... http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1313044022/0#0 ATM Forum/General http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1313044022/0#0 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 06:27:02 GMT <br />In a word no.<br />I too sucked horribly at maths. 90% of the stuff they talk about in maths at school anyway is completely irrelevant to life in general. I turn 29 this year and I have never yet had to work out the area of a lawn or what speed a train was travelling if it left a station at 6am with a driver named Steve. <br /><br />Most of the time, I still have to add numbers up using my fingers. I've never found it to be something that holds me back though. I've never had a problem getting a job and have never had huge problems with it. I just have to use a calculator sometimes is all! http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1278831862/1#1 ATM Forum/Secondary http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1278831862/1#1 Mon, 1 Aug 2011 04:24:29 GMT I am a Mathematician in Greece. I teach in a high school (ages 16-18)<br /><br />I want to buy all the math school books that students in England use in their classes (ages 16-18).<br />I want to compare them with the Greek books, and see their style, similarities, differences etc.<br /><br />Where can I find and buy them?<br /><br />If someone has a copy of them I would like to buy them all.<br /><br />Thank you in advance!<br /><br />ps. In Greece all the school books are available free on the internet from the Greek Educational Institute!! but I think this is not happening in England, since I think books are not free.. http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1310248590/0#0 ATM Forum/Secondary http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1310248590/0#0 Sat, 9 Jul 2011 21:56:30 GMT I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice...<br />I am rewriting our KS3 SoW, now focusing on setting it up in such a way that non-specialist teachers of mathematics could (and to be fair - some of our 'specialists'), with my support, help our really low achievers to get to grips with numbers. I have used the nrich curriculum planning tool for primary as my starting point but was wondering what your thoughts were. The problem is of course that I do not want to use resources aimed at KS1 for my Y7 students... I am looking in to buying the cuisenaire rods with the accompanying activity book. My HoD said I can buy 'a book'...

Also, the lovely GeoGebra people are working on mobile versions, especially iPhone and Android apps, of their software so I look forward to using this.  I find GeoGebra very intuitive and so do my students. http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1288608944/1#1 ATM Forum/General http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1288608944/1#1 Wed, 6 Apr 2011 06:08:54 GMT The Teachers' Notes accompanying each problem offer guidance to teachers on possible ways of engaging learners in the activity or challenge.<br />Learners can submit their solutions to the problems using the 'Submit a Solution' tab at the top of each problem.

A key element of the Project was the use of concrete manipulatives/equipment. Unfortunately, we are no longer running/supporting the project nor do we have an archive of the manipulatives. You are welcome to visit the Foundation (we are based in London) to consult the print materials produced for the Project.<br /><br />The National Film Archive may have a copy of a short (14 minute) film on the Project ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/17294 and an internet search should bring up references such as jstor.org/pss/1000530 .<br /><br />Contact details for us can be found on the nuffieldfoundation.org/who-we-are page via the Teachers section of our website.<br /><br />I hope this helps,<br />Vinay Kathotia<br />Project Head, Mathematics<br />The Nuffield Foundation http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1295036681/1#1 ATM Forum/General http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1295036681/1#1 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 22:37:53 GMT Anyone wishing to add their commemorations of Tom O'Brien may do so by emailing them direct to the Web Editor: webeditor@atm-online.org.uk http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1294352838/2#2 ATM Forum/MTinteractive http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1294352838/2#2 Thu, 6 Jan 2011 22:33:12 GMT Rebecca (and anyone else)...<br /><br />How does this forum differ from any other forum of its type on the web - what exactly do you perceive as the 'mess'? http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1226874490/7#7 ATM Forum/Secondary http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1226874490/7#7 Tue, 30 Nov 2010 20:07:01 GMT many thanks that is some ideas http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1286792519/0#0 ATM Forum/General http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1286792519/0#0 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 10:21:59 GMT I am trying to find the names of the MaST providers can anyone help me, please?<br /> The NCETM microsite has been closed pending government review. <br />Although I have tried Googling sometimes that gives me LAs trying to recruit teachers and sometimes HEI but not always with contact details. <br />If YOU (or someone you know) do provide MaST courses please could you contact Karen Moran at the ATM office or me via this website. <br />We are going to offer special membership for MaST course members. <br />Grateful thanks<br /> <img src="http://www.atm.org.uk/forum/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/cheesy.gif" border="0" alt="Cheesy" title="Cheesy" /> http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1252687577/5#5 ATM Forum/Playground http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1252687577/5#5 Wed, 6 Oct 2010 09:46:42 GMT <img src="http://www.atm.org.uk/forum/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/shocked.gif" border="0" alt="Shocked" title="Shocked" /> <img src="http://www.atm.org.uk/forum/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/kiss.gif" border="0" alt="Kiss" title="Kiss" /> http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1286051852/0#0 ATM Forum/General http://www.atm.org.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1286051852/0#0 Sat, 2 Oct 2010 20:37:32 GMT Hello, first post.<br /><br />I've just found the very good Maths4Life downloads on the NCETM site, but only about half of the lessons are on there.
