One of the things I particularly like about the activities in this book is that they provide equality of ... Read moreopportunity in the classroom as they are accessible to all whilst allowing for differentiation by outcome.

Mike’s ideas don’t depend on the teacher’s style or personality. Anyone will be able to integrate them into their teaching. Their initial simplicity hooks the students and helps to establish the idea that everyone can do maths.

If you're the kind of Mathematics teacher that notices palindromic dates and refers to factors of numbers as 'gazintas' then '100 ideas for Outstanding Maths Lessons' is the book for you. Ollerton's book is packed full of enriching ideas to provide your students with the challenge and intrigue that underpins any outstanding Mathematics lesson. I'll be planning dominoes, 99-squares and Geoboards into my upcoming lessons, based on just some of the ideas presented in this book, thank you Mike!
