A Mathematical Miscellany
This collection of resources contains a wealth of ideas, investigations, activities and games designed to add excitement, interest and understanding to a wide variety of mathematical topics in primary and secondary lessons. Many of the activities, published by the City of Manchester Polytechnic and compiled by Gillian Hatch, were the results of workshops and courses. Despite the resources having been produced a while ago, and being hand-written, the ideas are still valid today.
