Nuffield Mathematics Project

The aim of the Nuffield Mathematics Project was to devise a 'contemporary approach for students from 5 to 13'. The writing team started work in September 1964. The newly-formed Schools Council undertook to help by identifying a dozen pilot areas. These would ensure that a good number of teachers would tryout the...

Teachers' Guides

The Nuffield Mathematics Project Teachers' Guides cover the topics of computation and structure, shape and size, and graphs leading to algebra. The books do not cover years, or indeed any specific time; they simply develop themes and therefore show the teacher how to allow one child to progress at a different pace to...

Weaving Guides

The Nuffield Mathematics Project Weaving Guides are single-concept books which give detailed instructions or information about a particular subject. The first two guides are concerned with the advent of calculators and computers and how they might be used to develop mathematical concepts. The use and...
