This beautiful model to cut out and glue together is the result of arranging five interpenetrating cubes in a highly symmetrical way. Each cube is printed in its own colour and so it is easy to see that exactly two cubes meet at every vertex and that there are twelve surfaces defining each face of each cube.

The book deals with important matters around leading a mathematics department, and some approaches to dealing with those matters, in ways which promote reflection and enquiry as a route to excellence. There is a movement toward building a successful cadre of mathematics teachers led by the NCETM and subject associations reflected in the new Chartered Mathematics Teacher qualification and masters in leadership for new and aspiring heads of department. This book is born of this movement, and deals with some of the issues that new and aspiring heads of department will have to address as they start on this endeavor. In order to compile this book, the authors invited respected mathematics educators and theorists to contribute, asking them to be very clear that they were 'putting theory into practice' for subject leaders in mathematics. Many of the authors work alongside current leaders of mathematics departments and the others are actively engaged in schools or with teachers of mathematics. A stimulating read for all current and aspiring heads of department.

Not focusing on either science and mathematics gives the elbow room to look at things that curricula don't cover. Some of the more than 75 puzzles in this wonderful book will be familiar friends, here presented in a lively fresh way for new readers. Many others will be new - there are hours of challenging fun to be had for anybody.

A really challenging book that will fascinate anyone interested in puzzles and recreational mathematicians in particular. This volume contains 36 puz-zles ranging from quite easy to quite difficult.

All real life mathematics is problem solving. And all those fascinated by puzzles are problem solvers at heart. But thinking mathematically is a skill we have to learn and one which it is easy to forget. Recreational mathematicians and students can practise problem solving in different ways. In this book solving puzzles is practised in a different way from most books they will have seen before: - Readers get no clues to what the puzzle is about - They may take hours or even days to work out what is being asked of them - Even after that, some problems may have no solution The result of this challenge is a really challenging book that will fascinate anyone interested in puzzles and recreational mathematicians in particular. This volume contains 36 puzzles ranging from quite easy to more difficult. The sister volume More Without Words: Mathematical Puzzles to Confound and Delight is also available - containing 36 more puzzles with more easy and fewer testing ones.

A team race is a classic idea - it as simple as your team wins by answering all the questions correctly in the fastest time! The author used the idea in a lesson once and it worked so well it became something he did whenever that topic came up, as students enjoyed the activity so much, and the quality of learning and discussion taking place was very high.The first book in the series Mathematical Team Races for younger students has been widely used in secondary schools. This second book in the series contains activities based on Advanced Level core mathematics content.It can be incredibly difficult to find interesting resources as alternatives to a textbook, and hard to engage some post-16 students. Yet the author has found that post-16 students enjoy these activities just as much as younger ones and they are just as effective in developing their learning. They still enjoy the competitive nature of the activities and they promote rich discussions in overcoming misconceptions when tackling the problems in small groups.Paul Hambleton is an experienced teacher working in the UK.
