Nuffield Foundation
Nuffield Maths Teaching Project - Number
From the Nuffield Foundation this collection includes five modules focusing directly on number: number patterns, decimals, integers, irrationals, indices and molecules.
Each module consists of activity cards for students, hints for students for some of the cards and teacher notes which contain suggestions for teaching approaches, answers and all of the student material.
The teacher notes also show the structure of the student cards which, in most modules, are grouped into sets of cards. This was designed to support planning for students with differing prior knowledge and allowing for a range of attainment in the class.

Number Patterns
From the Nuffield Foundation, the module is primarily about simple number patterns which are explored on a number square. The teachers' notes indicate how the theory may be developed further and include some notions of modular arithmetic.
...Decimals 2
From the Nuffield Foundation, this module focuses on the use of decimals in multiplication and division and then on applications which include averages, speed calculations and rounding.
The resource consists of:
...Integers
The module, from the Nuffield Foundation, focuses on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of directed numbers. The approach is the highly unusual one of representing directed numbers by equivalence classes of ordered pairs. This representation is supported by the use of a cardboard ‘machine’ which the...
Irrationals
From the Nuffield Foundation, this module attempts to build up an understanding of irrational numbers. It contains ideas and content which would normally be introduced much later (for example, the notion of closure, use of continued fractions – which are called ‘continuous’ fractions in the text).
