Description
The "Century Maths" series is a flexible range of mathematics materials for pupils aged 11-16 (Years 7-11), developed by a team based at the Institute of Education, University of London. The materials have been designed and tested to fit the requirements of the National Curriculum. They provide support through Key Stages 3 and 4 and relate closely to the Non-Statutory Guidance for Mathematics. The "Theme Books" in the series offer open-ended starting points for mathematics in context and aim to promote the natural development of cross-curricular work in a variety of subject areas. This theme book is one of three which are intended for Years 10/11.
