Summer session scheme

We are set for two classes each Thursday morning.  There is likely to be different in content as the first class will contain initiates and the second generally those who have not been to the sessions before.

The list of topics that I would like to make available in the later session are:

  • Number bonds, negative numbers, place value, dice
  • Equality, difference, <, >, unknown values, balancing quantities (inequalities mean easier balancing), consecutive numbers,
  • multiplication understanding, Area, primes, factors etc.
  • shape properties (number of sides, types of angle, tessalatability, 
  • number properties (Square, prime, triangle, consecutive sums
  • project-based exhibition at West Norwood Feast Sept 6th - real-projects.org for an overview
    • art work representing numbers and relationships between numbers perhaps
    • creation of a board, dice or counters game that involves different concepts in maths

write up projects to start week 2

notable omissions are probability and data.  Probability would be important in a game creation so should be squeezed in somewhere

  1. This has been narrowed down to the first two objectives which will be plenty. Project is now or never (hopefully the former)
