Good Ideas for...

This series of booklets from Polygon Resources deal with a range of mathematical topics appropriate for use during Key Stage Two and Three. Although the activities and notes refer to individual attainment targets, the authors make it clear that in their view mathematics is an integrated subject.

For each activity the booklets include:
* Extension ideas which are suitable for students who can cope with greater challenges than those offered by the initial activity.
* Teaching notes that make practical suggestions for organising the activity in the classroom and outline its mathematical potential.
* Links with the National Curriculum using Attainment Targets (1992 version).
