Motivate long projects 2009-10

In the school year 2009-10, we are running three long projects for KS3 students:

• "It's not that I'm smart ..."
• Reality Maths
• The Risks of Life 

We could still accept bookings for the 2009-10 long projects if you email us immediately or phone 01223 764278. The cost is £1550 for the full year, payable in three instalments. Information about long projects available in 2010-2011 will be available in time for schools to book at the 'early bird' rate, ie. before the end of May 2010.

In these extended projects we want to:

• enrich the mathematical experience of the students and teachers involved
• give students and teachers a sense of belonging to a mathematical community
• give students and teachers an opportunity to go beyond the normal curriculum and to use techniques from the curriculum in unfamiliar contexts
• help students see that maths is an interesting, relevant, living subject
• provide extended projects which will help students develop creative and critical thinking and problem solving skills
• provide project work which students can work on collaboratively or alone
• give students an opportunity to present their own work to an audience outside their own school, to answer questions and to receive feedback on it
• help students develop their communication and presentation skills
• address QCA Key concepts and Key processes:
