SMILE Cards
SMILE (Secondary Mathematics Individualised Learning Experiment) was initially developed as a series of practical activities for secondary school students by practising teachers in the 1970s. It became a complete individualised scheme based around a network of activity cards and assessments. The cards were organised so that each student followed their own path through the work which was recorded on a network.
This collection contains:
*SMILE workcards organised into mathematical topics based upon the SMILE networks.
*SMILE booklets, which are cards that are booklets in themselves.
*Supplementary materials.
