This book explores the development and current classroom applications of hardware and software for primary mathematics. The authors review available software (including data handling programs, Logo and control, ILS, maths adventures and 'drill-and-practices' software) and consider why these have not gained wider acceptance among primary teachers. They consider pedagogy and best practice in mathematics, rather that structures imposed by technology. The book provides powerful examples of ways in which ICT can be effectively integrated into the mathematics curriculum. The authors take account of the National Numeracy Framework, and look at possible new directions in educational software, hardware and resources.

The 5th Environmental Justice and Global Citizenship conference was held at Oxford, UK in 2006. This decidedly trans-disciplinary, international event attracted participants from traditionally separate academic perspectives; each ambassadors for their disciplines and each seeking and making connections with other disciplines and other understandings. Some of the presentations from this conference have been further developed for inclusion in this book, yielding 14 chapters of paradigmatic richness covering issues ranging from environmental education and the nature of global multinational corporations, to the role of environmental activism and consideration of how democratically representative some campaigns may be. This book will be of great interest to anyone working in these areas as well as an excellent introductory journey for those seeking to become pan-paradigmatic.

Find out about the characteristics that distinguish the amphibians in different groups and compare the differences in their life cycles. Discover the various ways in which amphibians have adapted to life in different climates and habitats on land and in water.
