Most people have taken part in treasure hunts of various kinds in different social contexts. What perhaps is not generally realised is just how easy and rewarding they can be to include within the mathematics curriculum. They can add variety to lessons, end of term activities, maths clubs, parent evenings or open days. Once the principles of organising them are understood, thay can be adapted easily to the circumstances. In the book there are six complete treasure hunts, four ready to photocopy directly and suggestions, ideas and templates for many more.

Team Games are special mathematical puzzles and problems which produce real cooperation between the members of a team. The mathematical content is that of the normal curriculum and whether you call them games, puzzles or problems they undoubtedly offer a very positive experience at a variety of different levels. Each player only gets some of the information and so all must play a part in arriving at a solution.Sixteen tried and tested team games are provided in photocopiable form and once it is realised how well this format works, it will not be difficult to construct more for yourself.

Sixteen varied and well worked out whole class activities form the heart and the purpose of this collection. The aim is to encourage everyones active participation with the teacher directing from the front. For some of the activities the pupils have to respond verbally, for others they have to hold up coloured cards with the words true or false or the choices A, B, C or D printed on them. Photocopy masters are provided for each of these cards and also of the various forms and charts needed to respond or react to the the situations being set up. Anyone looking for a way of generating enthusiasm and quick responses will find this book most useful.
