Maths in the Real World
March 13, 2009
Good Mathematics resources are few and far between but one that has recently come to our attention is the Heinemann series, Real World Data. It takes popular Science, Health and Society & Environment topics and demonstrates how central data collection and presentation are in providing information on these topics. It shows how textual information can be conveniently shown in graph, chart and table form and thus provide information “at a glance”.
The twelve books in the series provide all sorts of possibilities for use in the classroom, for integrating Maths in other learning areas and for acting as a springboard for local investigations and collection of data for later presentation in graphs, charts and tables.
