Football - a motivator for mathematics? - Julie Cogill and Alan Parr
Julie and Alan visit Arsenal's Double Club Project.
Julie and Alan's visits focused on the work being done by Arsenal Football Club. How do you feel about incentive schemes such as these? Do they help pupils learn to enjoy or gain satisfaction from mathematics work? Or do they work against any sense that mathematics is worth doing for its own sake?
Please send your comments here.
If you aware of similar schemes Julie and Alan would enjoy hearing about them.
