Exploring the ways in which maths skills can be learned through cross-curricular activities based on visual arts and music, this text presents maths as a meaningful and exciting subject which holds no fears for children. The authors recognize that while maths-phobia prevails in our increasingly mathematicized world, attitudes and approaches to teaching the subject need to be reviewed, and issues such as gender stereotyping, which encourage maths-apathy, need to be tackled at an early age. Within this collection of classroom-based stories are detailed examples of intergrative mathematic projects.
