  abstract: Motivating GCSE maths pupils has been identified as a national problem, so a group of Hampshire maths teachers meets up to discuss some new projects they ve been trying out in their individual schools. With organisers Alison Clark-Wilson from the Maths Centre at University College Chichester, and Maths Inspector and advisor for Hampshire, Ron Taylor, the group draws up a list of work habits they want to encourage in their students, such as pupils taking ownership of their learning, being motivated and engaged by the activities and developing critical thinking. They also discuss the need, when teaching at KS4, to exploit the more imaginative approaches they use at KS3, particularly avoiding the excessive use of textbooks. The programme then observes a year 10 lesson involving pupils in Fareham collecting their own data and using graphical calculators to create scatter graphs. The class teacher and the rest of the group then analyse its success.
  abstract: Hampshire maths teacher Andy Grice tackles trigonometry with his GCSE pupils and gets away from traditional textbook teaching by taking them out of the classroom. The challenge is to estimate the height of buildings round the school campus, and then work in teams to take the measurements needed to calculate their heights using trig ratios. An introductory session in the classroom establishes the task, and the element of competition, tight time-checks and clearly defined roles keep the pupils on task while they re at large around the school campus. Back in the classroom it's a race to match the calculations to the estimates and see which group comes closest - and is the winner. Andy and his colleagues then analyse the success of the project at motivating year 10 pupils, and discuss some of the issues that emerged. The pupils enjoy looking at trigonometry in this more visual and practical way.
