Written by Dr Catherine Attard and John Pattison, photographs by John Pattison. Foundation to Year 3. $79.50.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree formats of the same photographs, on purpose.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOpen-ended, not single-answer.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe authors:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne practical note.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MTA Essentials","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53793138639211,"sku":"EVCAT003","price":79.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/2795\/8891\/files\/cat003_engaging-maths-everyday-investigation-ey_v2_1.webp?v=1788360992","url":"https:\/\/megaofficesupplies.com.au\/products\/engaging-maths-everyday-investigations-early-years-book-cards-and-disc","provider":"Mega Office Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
