Mathematics to primary and secondary pupils Science to primary and secondary pupils

Tell your own maths stories As a teacher, I found that working out ways to see how maths topics could be applied to everyday life could sometimes be easy and other times near impossible. One idea to solve this is encouraging pupils to write their own maths stories or even create their own story picture books. This challenges the children to link abstract ideas to the real world in a way they understand, while consolidating their knowledge through ‘testing’ and ‘teaching’ others through their own invented problems.
