Aim: To investigate factors that develop independence in problem-solving and to improve problem-solving throughout the curriculum.

Aim: The prevailing modern view of mathematical ability is one which includes creativity and transcends the more limited concept of technical ability. There is, however, little widely available material which, in a simple and accessible way, introduces secondary school age children to the world of creative mathematics. This projects main aim was to bridge this gap.

Aim: To examine the way language is used in mathematics and to help students improve their understanding of maths by giving them the confidence to express themselves in mathematical language.

To what extent does it lead to improved language performance? To what extent are beginner learners of English (E1/E2) capable of scaffolding each other and is this effective?

Aim: A great deal of effort and expense is currently being expended in schools and Local Authorities on Learning Platforms (LPs). This study set out to explore how schools and students are using LPs. The report is intended to help inform readers about how teachers are using LPs and to describe students' experience of one mature installation.

Aim: To find out ways in which teachers can become more effective at developing childrens skills in the area of written mathematical explanation.

Aim: To provide a supportive network for mathematics subject leaders, to develop approaches to teaching mathematics and to share effective strategies and resources between schools.

Aim: To see whether an increased awareness of observational strategies enhances effective teaching of physical education at Key Stage 2.

Aim: To examine the effectiveness of the teacher "learning support assistant" (LSA) role in assisting pupils with special educational needs to access an appropriately differentiated mainstream curriculum.
