Maths Investigations The activities in Maths Investigations have been structured to provide materials that are appropriate to the needs and abilities of a range of abilities in the mathematics class. At this stage of their mathematics education students should be required to investigate concepts in considerable depth. Accordingly some activities in this book stretch over several pages perhaps requiring students to carry an idea over from day to day as they move through a particular unit. This idea of mathematical investigations is intended to provide challenge for students, to encourage them to look at the real life aspects of mathematics and to stimulate them to go to even further depths than the text provides for.

Maths in Sport
The activities in this book are based on a variety of sports, and each involves a mathematical skill. Some activities are designed to test curriculum material, some are extensions or applications, while others are just for fun. Many activities are open-ended, and have the potential to be applied to situations in the school or community. Some suggestions are made with this in mind. It is recognised that teachers of mathematics in schools fit many descriptions - some are mathematics teachers, some are teachers who have mathematics classes thrust upon them, and yet others are physical education teachers who teach mathematics. With that in mind, there is something for everyone in this book. Years 5-6

Xpse!Tfbsdift!3/1 Children love to solve problems and word puzzles. The words in these word searches have been hidden horizontally, vertically and diagonally, both forwards and backwards. Often shared letters have been included to further extend the search. The word searches can be used as an introduction to more meaningful tasks and extension activities - tasks that require and encourage the use and
application of skills. These might include researching, mapping, summarising, graphing, sequencing, comparing and many other sub-skills. The supplementary activities are made up of a range of language based activities that will prove challenging and stimulating for students. They will provide extension in such areas as vocabulary, general knowledge, history and geography. Years 5-6

Creative Challenges Edward de Bono has long been recognised as a ‘guru’ in the area of lateral thinking. It is his contention that the mental activity of ‘creative thinking’ is not just the product of a high level of intelligence. Indeed, as thinking can be seen as a skill, the end result can be affected considerably by the amount of practice that the ‘thinker’ has been exposed to before undertaking the given task. The activities in Creative Challenges have been designed to stretch your students’
understanding and thinking skills. This activity book follows the basic principles of de Bono and Dalton in concentrating on eight processes or skills which foster an increased ability to think creatively and divergently. These include: Cognitive abilities Fluency, Flexibility, Originality and Elaboration; and Affective abilities - Curiosity - Complexity, Risk Taking and lmagination. All primary ages
