Publications

Multifangled has published two teaching resources.

NEW in 2012: 'My Neighbourhood: literacy in context'

My neighbourhood contains activities designed to support students to develop literacy skills in context and provide opportunities for teaching literacy in context. Some activities take just a few minutes while others extend over a number of sessions. Each activity contains information for the teacher alongside activity sheets and/or handouts for the students. In addition there are a number of skill sheets to support students in completing the activities.

'Having fun with maths: Activities and games for developing maths language and skills'

The games and activities in this book focus on the development of fundamental maths skills through co-operative group work and the use of hands-on materials, as well as on enjoyment and having fun in order to build confidence and overcome maths anxiety. The photocopiable activities are designed to encourage students to work together and use and talk about mathematics and its language and share their understandings and knowledge. The activities are suitable for a wide range of mathematics and numeracy students, especially for the middle years, year 11 students studying practical mathematics subjects, and adult numeracy students. There are four sections: co-operative logic problems, dice games, calculator games and word games. Skill areas covered include: numbers and calculations, shape, location and direction and introductory algebra.
