Finding stimulating and challenging maths activities for able pupils in a mainstream classroom can be demanding for the busy teacher, especially if maths is not your specialism.
Based on her experience as an Advanced Skills Teacher and LEA Consultant, Anne Price explains the issues and theories surrounding the education of able pupils and links these to practical, creative examples to be used in the classroom.
Useful resources include:
- Photocopiable materials,
- Advice on different teaching styles,
- Activities and tasks for individuals, groups or the whole class
Well organized and comprehensive, this book provides a full framework for integrating science and literacy. It shows how tapping into children's interest in science can help them develop key literacy skills and strategies as they explore the world around them. Examples of integrated science units include hands-on instructions and reproducible materials for learning activities that can be adapted to different grade levels.
This book puts forward an authenticity-centred approach to the design of materials for language learning. The premise of the approach is that language learning should be based on authentic materials drawn from a variety of genres found in the target language culture, and that the learning tasks involving these materials should be correspondingly authentic, by entailing interactions that are consistent with the original communicative purpose of the authentic text.
Architecture is unquestionably one of the arts, and certainly not a lesser one, but dealing with it purely as an art would be very incomplete. For, more than other arts, it depends heavily on technology as concerns materials used, construction techniques, and new technological possibilities in other fields.
The two volume Encyclopedia of Space Science and Technology
represents an ambitious collection of the underlying physical
properties of rockets, satellites and space stations, what is known by
astronomers about the sun, planets, galaxy and universe, and the effect
of the space environment on human and other biological systems. The
Encyclopedia also provides a state-of-the-art summary of the
engineering involved in launching a rocket or satellite, the control
systems involved on the ground, in orbit or in deep space, and on
manufacturing in space from planetary and other resources. A quick
study of a number of basic topics in space science for researchers in
optics, materials processing and telecommunications, this Encyclopedia
is also an indispensable resource for physicists, astronomers,
engineers and materials and computer science.
