On Radio 3 I heard that children have difficulty arranging fractions on the Number Line. Hence I have been dreaming of
“Digital Number Patterns” as pathways, carpets and curtains;
- “Mathematical Gardens“, so that Conceptual and Concrete Experiences can be matched:
- “Digital Number Shapes” as spaces of exploration;
- “Digital Number Ratios” as climbing frames;
Puzzles and Games to practise
- “Digital Sums” as new “Decimal Arithmetic”
- “3D Sums” as new “3D Arithmetic”
Competitions
- and of course software galore:
- add-ons to spreadsheet programs for example so that diagonal and formatting operations can be carried out at ease…
- maybe there’s room for ‘artistic spreadsheets’?
