Videos:

Several videos have been developed by the Project Maths Team, which teachers may find useful. Click on any of the titles below to view videos.
Basic Properties of Parallelograms How to build a clinometer
3D Trigonometry An introduction to Spinners
Pythgoras by Inspection  

 

 

 

Basic properties of Parallelograms

 

This video was developed specifically for teachers. It explores 3 basic properties of parallelograms. It is hoped that the concepts in this video can be modelled with students in the classroom. Students can form groups, use the geostrips (as shown in this video) and deduce for themselves the 3 basic properties of parallelograms.

3D Trigonometry

 This video was designed specifically for teachers as a way to promote group work and discovery learning of 3D trigonometry. All pilot schools will be supplied with one of the 3D trigonometry boards featured in this video. The ultimate aim is to allow students to use the board and construct a variety 3D trigonometry problems. Once the students are able to visualise the problems, it is hoped that they can then apply deductive logic to solve them.

Pythagoras by Inspection

 This video was developed specifically for teachers. It explores the theorem of Pythagoras and uses proof by inspection. It should be noted this is not a rigorous proof. However, it provides a good introduction to the theorem of Pythagoras for Junior students. Many mathematics departments may already have the equipment used in this video. It could be used to promote group work in class and encourage peer to peer learning with students.

How to build a clinometer

 This video was developed for teachers and students. It provides step by step instructions on how to build a clinometer. A student activity worksheet  has been developed to complement this video. Click here to view the student activity.

An introduction to Spinners

 This video was developed for teachers. It provides a short introduction about "Spinners" and how they might be used in the teaching and learning of probability with students.
