Thirty photographs of ordinary things, and the maths hiding in them

Book plus a set of photo cards plus a disc of the same photographs. Written by Dr Catherine Attard and John Pattison, photographs by John Pattison. Foundation to Year 3. $79.50.

The premise is simple and it works: take more than 30 photographs of things children actually see - a car park, a supermarket shelf, a footpath - and use each one as the start of an open-ended maths task. The maths stops being an exercise on a worksheet and becomes something the child noticed on the way to school.

Three formats of the same photographs, on purpose. The disc lets you put a photo on the big screen for the whole class. The cards let a small group hold one. The book gives you the teaching. Each card has the related activities printed on the back, so a card can be handed to a group without the book.

Open-ended, not single-answer. These are rich tasks - the kind where different children reach different defensible answers and have to justify them. That is harder to run than a worksheet and it is the reason the book exists.

The authors: Dr Catherine Attard lectures in primary mathematics pedagogy and taught primary before that; her research is on student engagement with mathematics. John Pattison has taught mathematics in primary schools and worked in teacher professional development with the NSW Department of Education.

One practical note. The photographs come on a physical disc. If your laptops have no optical drive, plan to copy the files once from a machine that does.

FAQs

Foundation Year to Year 3. The companion volume, CAT004, covers Years 3 to 6 - they overlap at Year 3.
The same photographs that are in the book and on the cards, as image files, so you can project them or print them.
No. The cards carry the photograph on the front and the activities on the back, so a group can work from a card alone. The disc is for whole-class display.
Not directly. It is a physical disc. Copy the files once from a computer that has a drive and keep them on your server or drive after that.
The supplier does not publish a page count. Ask us and we will check with them before you order.
