[Maths-Education] maths across the curriculum

[John Bibby]

MatheMagic explored this some time ago. "Education Extra" paid for
development of some materials which were produced by a cosortium of maths
AND English teachers, the brief being "Prepare something which can be used
BOTH in the maths classroom and in the English classroom". Thus it was
symmetric between the disciplines and jointly owned. (Maths across the
curriculum might sound as though 'we' own it)

I'll try to put the results on the mathemagic website which is now at
www.aa42.com/mathemagic

An interesting response was 'We've been in the same staffroom for years, but
we've never discussed curriculum issues before'. Unfrtunately the experiment
was never rolled out to otehr disciplines AFAIK.

We also did some stuff on "Math & Football". Please email me for further
info.

     Thank you and Best Regards
