Books

High quality books for the general reader, or for teachers and students needing extension and enrichment materials:

To find out more about Arbelos books:

“Much learning does not teach understanding.”—Heraclitus

The Beauty of Mathematics poster collection

Each set in The Beauty of Mathematics poster collection contains 5 posters and a four-page booklet of background notes.

Illustrating the beauty of mathematics, the posters will enliven any classroom or corridor and are a simple but highly effective way to provide mathematics enrichment.

To find out more about the posters:

“As for everything else, so for a mathematical theory: beauty can be perceived but not explained.”—Arthur Cayley

ClubMaths™ activities

Each ClubMaths™ activity is on a well-researched theme and is ready for use with pupils. Unlike traditional sources of material, ClubMaths™ activities are self-contained and include comprehensive support for the teacher.

From Primes and Sums, ClubMaths™ November 2005
Primes in a magic square

Complete the magic square so that all the entries are different prime numbers and the constant total is 120.

“Where there are numbers, there is beauty.”—Proclus

Enterprising Mathematics Resources CD

The CD provides materials for pupils aged 15/16, either for classroom use or for a larger event such as a “maths day”. Of course, teachers may find other ways of using the resources, which have been selected to give pupils and teachers a flavour of the Enterprising Mathematics competitions.

Contents include Problems, Relays and “hands-on” Activities.
