Let's Play Mathematically! The Teacher's Guide

Playing games can unlock knowledge. Even more importantly, games can unlock a deep love of a subject. Teachers know this, but resources to bring them into the classroom in a crowded curriculum are hard to find. This important book in the Aiming High series, alongside the Family Games book Tarquin has also published, does just that:

• It provides many games to help develop that love for mathematics. Simple to use, they are easy and enjoyable to play.
• Crucially, each comes with reflective questions and materials that are designed to bring out mathematical thinking and provide a deeper understanding of the topic that underlies the game. Even for the youngest players, this can be transformational.
• Guidance on how to use each game with different age groups is provided.
• Play the games with the book and equipment you have to hand.   

The Aiming High series of books and resources has been developed by Toni Beardon, the founder of the NRICH Mathematics Project and AIMSSEC, a not-for-profit organisation that provides training and resources aiming to empower teachers from disadvantaged rural and township communities in South Africa and other parts of Africa. Royalties from sales of this publication will be used to develop this work further.
