MA Publications Chronology
| Two spreadsheet files list all the publications of the Mathematical Association. For nineteenth-century publications the MA was the Association for the Improvement of Geometrical Teaching (AIGT). The list AIGT PUBLICATIONS includes some titles only available by prior arrangement for visiting the MA Archives at MA HQ in Leicester. The publications listed in MA PUBLICATIONS can be found in the MA Library at the University of Leicester’s David Wilson Library, which also holds the majority of AIGT publications (above). |

| Mathematical Activities using Spreadsheets
Constructing, using and understanding spreadsheets is a vital skill for all pupils. In mathematics, it provides a powerful and engaging took to explore areas of interest without the need to perform laborious calculations.
This book - designed for Upper Primary and Lower Secondary school pupils - brings these two benefits together into a practical and motivating format. It starts by setting up a situation; either drawn from the world outside the classroom or from a simple but resonant area of mathematics. Questions are then posed, that may be explored in a spreadsheet.
Each spread of the book is devoted to a single topic and is set out as photocopiable sheets (which are also on the accompanying CD) for students , together with detailed notes for teachers, containing spreadsheet models and data sets.

| Flowchart Investigations - Colin Foster
This book is aimed at all teachers of mathematics at Key Stages 3 & 4, though it will also find some use at key stage 2.Flowcharts are visually engaging ways of describing mathematical processes and can offer a starting point for rich mathematical activity. The 2D Flowcharts in this book, (also available on the enclosed CD-Rom) provoke purposeful mathematics and are accompanied by questions and prompts inviting learners to experiment, form conjectures, test their ideas and work on justification and proof. There is ample opportunity for learners to approach the tasks in different ways, to modify the flowcharts and to pose their own questions. Teacher pages for each task give details of the relevant mathematics and some suggestions of how the tasks might be used.

| 50 Per Cent Proof
This timeless, classic book of mathematical humour has been missed since it went out of print some years ago. Every page is a delight and illustrates the use and miss-use of mathematics and numeracy in everyday life. Such humour has an important role in schools and education - it underlines the basic ideas in an engaging and memorable way.

| Whoever thought of that? Short biographies of some contributors to the history of mathematics.
This book contains selected articles on the History of Mathematics that first appeared in SYMmetryplus from 1999 to 2008, which have been updated where new information has come to light since the original publication date. The articles range from short biographies of some famous (and some not so famous) mathematicians to snippets of work researched by them or inspired by their work. It is hoped that the articles contained within this book will enlighten students on the background to their studies as well as give them an insight into the people who brought the Mathematics curriculum to life.

| It's A Kind Of Magic
This book contains many numerical tricks, suitable for classroom enrichment or general mathematical entertainment, together with full mathematical explanations as to why the tricks actually work. There is also a section dealing with mathematical card tricks that require no special card-handling skills to perform but still have the potential to create a wow-factor amongst any observers. I hope you enjoy using these tricks as much as I have enjoyed compiling them. David Crawford
