The upper primary volume - same idea, harder questions
Book plus a set of photo cards plus a disc of the same photographs. Written by Dr Catherine Attard and John Pattison, photographs by John Pattison. Years 3 to 6. $74.50.
Same structure as the Early Years volume: more than 30 photographs of things children see every day, each one used as the launch point for an open-ended mathematical investigation. What changes is the mathematics the photograph is asked to carry.
Upper primary is where "when will I ever use this" starts. A photograph of a real object is a direct answer to that, which is why the everyday subject matter matters more here than it does in the early years.
Three formats of the same photographs. Disc for the projector, cards for the group, book for the teaching. Each card has its activities printed on the back so it stands alone.
The authors: Dr Catherine Attard lectures in primary mathematics pedagogy with a background in primary teaching, and researches student engagement with mathematics, particularly in the middle years - which is exactly the band this volume covers. John Pattison has extensive primary mathematics teaching experience and has worked in teacher professional development.
One practical note. The photographs come on a physical disc. Copy the files once from a machine with an optical drive if your classroom laptops do not have one.
