1 First Steps mathematics downloads (diagnosing pupil misconceptions in mathematics) http://det.wa.edu.au/stepsresources/detcms/navigation/first-steps- mathematics/ Cross- Curricular If the World Were a Village by David Smith is a graphic portrayal of world demographics using a village of 100 people. (for example, 22 out of the 100 people speak a Chinese dialect). Many other stimulating activities relating to social and environmental issues can be found in Teaching Mathematics as if the Planet Matters. By Coles et. al. These include ‘The Fairtrade Game’ and ‘A Sustainable School’. The daily news provides numerous starting points for questioning and enquiry into environmental and social issues which makes the subject relevant and topical.
