Synopsis

A wide collection of starting points and extension tasks to support teachers and help students engage with the intrigue, surprise and fascination of mathematics. The approach is investigative and offers alternative ways for students to work on mathematics without needing to do exercises from a textbook. All the starting points and extension ideas have been used in many different classrooms.
The author writes "I have written up this collection of ideas in order to support teachers to help their students engage with the intrigue, beauty, surprise and fascination of mathematics. I seek to demonstrate that it is not only feasible to engage with mathematics in such ways, it is wholly desirable. The ideas offered are not intended to form a 'scheme' or to try to prescribe how they might be used. I merely present them with an intention that other teachers will have an opportunity to think about how they might adapt them to their own practice."
