1 Children's rights: general issues The audio file in this unit considers the general issues of children's rights, and the possibilities and implications of imagining children as citizens. Within the discussion, ideas about childhood and children's needs are explored. Although the programme focuses specifically on children it is possible to link to the wider issue of social construction of difference and power. Some examples are given in these notes. This audio file was recorded in 1998 and related to a TV programme on ch
Block perimeter applet
This applet is designed to help students understand the meaning of perimeter for regular and irregular shapes. Square boxes can be dragged to the applet's screen to form a shape. The area is determined by the number of boxes in the shape. The perimeter is found by counting the number of unattached sides. Students can check their answer by clicking the Show Perimeter button. Directions explaining how to link the boxes are included. Copyright 2005 Eisenhower National Clearinghouse

7.5.2 Title Being able to understand and use a range of numerical, graphical, algebraic and other mathematical techniques is a central feature of number skills. Use the following list to help you identify the areas you may need to work on. Will you need to: make observations, measurements, and express and combine the units of measurement correctly? read and interpret scale drawings, graphs, tables and charts? If so, do you need to learn about the
Count on Math: Making Your First Million
Do middle grades students have a good grasp of the size of one million? In this activity for grades 4-6, they develop a better sense of one million by working with blocks of 10 or 100, and then expanding the idea until a million is reached. To help them relate to such a large quantity, they try to answer such questions as, “Have you been alive a million days? Hours? Minutes? Seconds?”
4.4 Outside the asylum walls: limits to the primacy of the asylum as a solution

A decade ago, the possibility of a link between the MMR vaccine and autism hit the media. Fear of the vaccine spread rapidly and, despite an almost unanimous consensus that the claim was unfounded, still persists today. In this unit, we’ll examine why this controversy took on such a life of its own and why parents still agonise about the vaccine.
Problem Solving
Problem solving is the thought processes involved in solving a problem. It is both a means of developing students' knowledge of mathematics and a critical outcome of a good mathematics education. A mathematical problem, as distinct from an exercise, requires the solver to search for a method for solving the problem rather than following a set procedure. Mathematical problem solving, therefore, requires an understanding of relevant concepts, procedures, and strategies. To become good problem solv
