Materials available for review
We frequently receive requests for items to be reviewed.
The following items have been submitted by their creators who have asked that we review the material.
It is normally the case that, in the case of tangible materials, the reviewer is permitted to keep the material for their own use once reviewed.
How do you get to review the material?
Look through the list below, make a note of the reference number, and complete the form at the foot of the page. We will then send you the details of the person you need to contact to get the materials for review.
Please note: this is a commitment to review. If you receive material to review and then without good reason do not submit the review, is considered very bad practice and would reflect badly on ATM.
Important Note
Just because we list something here to allow potential reviewers to select something to review, it deos notmean in any way that ATM considers ‘worthy’ of review nor does it imply any endorsement. It is a raw list of requests as they are received.
We are as likely to publish a critical (as in unfavourable) review as we are a favourable review.
Items may be removed if not picked up for review after a reasonable period of time and at our complete discretion.

Guidance notes
Reviews must in some sensible way be connected with materials relevant to mathematics learning and teaching.
Reviews should reflect the aims and principles of ATM when making judgements of the worth of the materials being reviewed.
Reviews should, whenever possible, reflect some actual use of thematerials in a learning and teaching context.
Reviews do not have to be favourable if in your professional judgement the material does not warrant it.
Reviews should not give the impression of any endorsement by ATM, rather they should reflect an honest and realistic appraisal.
Reviews written by young people using the materials are welcomed.
Informative photographs of the materials in use are always useful.
Reviews should not have been published previously, elsewhere.
We reserve the inalienable right to reject reviews of materials that are counter to the general principles of ATM.
Reviews do not have to be long, in fact short and pithy is often better.
While we would expect a reasonable standard in use of language, we do not expect busy education professionals to have finely-honed prose.
