This book for teachers suggests projects which cater for a wide range of concepts and skills, and links with other curriculum subjects.

A Mathematical Pandora's Box has been written in response to the success of Brian Bolt's earlier mathematical puzzle books. Through his own experience, the author has discovered a worldwide interest in these and similar puzzles. Not only do they stimulate creative thinking but they can also open up new areas of mathematics to the reader. This book contains 142 activities: in addition to puzzles, there are games, tricks, models and explanations of various phenomena. They range from number manipulation, through happy and amicable numbers, coin puzzles, picnicking bears and pentominoes, to building shapes with cubes. Some of the puzzles date from hundreds of years ago while many others are original, giving everyone something to think about. There is a detailed commentary at the end of the book, giving solutions and explanations, together with the occasional follow-up problem.

A sequel to The Mathematical Funfair and The Amazing Mathematical Amusement Arcade, this book contains mathematical puzzles, games and models. They include coin and matchstick puzzles, domino problems and models to make of flexagons and a tetrahedron covered in pentominoes. The puzzles are not grouped together by type, but they become progressively demanding throughout the book. It should be of interest to mathematicians and people of all ages who enjoy puzzles.

A Mathematical Jamboree has been written in response to the success of Brian Bolt's earlier mathematical puzzle books. Through his own experience, the author has discovered a worldwide interest in these and similar puzzles. Not only do they stimulate creative thinking, but they can also open up new areas of mathematics to the reader. This book contains 114 activities: in addition to puzzles, there are games, models and explanations of various phenomena. They range from matchstick puzzles, optimization problems and Edwardian board games, to courting frogs and fishy tessellations There is a detailed commentary at the end of the book, giving solutions and explanations, together with the occasional follow-up problem.

A resource book which looks at the design of mechanisms, for example gears and linkages, through the eyes of a mathematician. There are a wide variety of examples including car steering, anglepoise lamps, bicycles, cine cameras, folding push chairs and the design of robots. Readers are encouraged to make models throughout and to look for further examples in everyday life. Suitable for GCSE, A level, and mathematics/technology/engineering courses in Further Education.

This book follows the tradition of the highly successful books, Mathematical Activities and More Mathematical Activities by the same author. It contains a further 133 puzzles, investigations, games, projects and applications of mathematics, together with a commentary which provides solutions and additional ideas. These activities are suitable for use with children from age nine upwards to stimulate their interest and encourage mathematical thinking.

This book follows the successful Mathematical Activities by the same author and has been written to provide teachers with further ideas to enrich their teaching of mathematics. It contains 127 investigations, puzzles, games and practical activities together with a commentary which provides solutions and additional ideas. These activities are suitable for use with children from age nine upwards to stimulate their interest and encourage mathematical thinking.

This book contains more than 150 games, puzzles and investigations designed to motivate everyone interested in mathematics. Many of the activities encourage creative thinking and practical work. The book provides a resource of ideas for all those concerned with mathematical education.

This book follows the successful Amazing Mathematical Amusement Arcade by the same author. It contains a further 128 puzzles and games designed to challenge people of all ages. The subjects range from matchsticks and coins to chocolate manufacture and expeditions across Dartmoor. The second part of the book contains a commentary giving hints and solutions.

Over 100 puzzles, games and activities--on topics ranging from matchsticks to magic squares, shunting to river crossing, and chess to calculators.
