Teachers Evaluating and Assessing Mathematics (TEAM): Section 4 - Getting Started

This section of the Teachers Evaluating and Assessing Mathematics (TEAM) project, produced by the Mathematics Centre at the University of Chichester, contains ideas, approaches, lists of useful resources and teachers' comments about their personal experiences. The aim is to develop a whole approach and attitude to learning mathematics by initiating and sustaining 'extended' or 'project work'.

It is closely linked to Teachers Evaluating and Assessing Mathematics (TEAM): Section 3 - Changing the Climate. Dotty paper activity 1 is an open-ended task with little guidance whilst Dotty paper activity 2 describes in detail the process of working through an investigation from a given starting point linking perimeter and area of irregular shapes. 40 starter activites for mathematical investigation are outlined, as are a number of practical project starting points.
