Comic Maths by Brian Williamson
Anne, John and Sue (best friends) travel through a comic adventure meeting Charlie the Monkey, Bad Girl Betty, the Monster, Buzzy Bee the Silly People, the Box of People, Flat face Round bottom, Granddad's sharing hands, Bill and his 'Everything' shop and others. Comic Maths concerns pre-number, number, pre-algebra, measure, geometry, handling data and chance. Comic Maths is organised as a series of 25 short comics which spiral upwards in difficulty. There is a 'Big Robert Says .' section containing miscellaneous exercises at the end of each turn of the spiral; and there are extension activities corresponding to each comic in 'Extra Sums for Greedy People'. 'Crazy Baby' pages aim to get us to gaze out of the window and think crazy thoughts 'Answers in The Back' gives answers to the questions set in each comic, the extension activities, and to the 'Crazy Baby' thoughts; but not to what 'Big Robert Says .' you have to do thatBrian Williamson teaches math to both children and adults through fantasy-based learning. He believes that a joke or a surprise awaits him around every bend... as well as the fact that daydreaming may be a fantastic method to learn!! In June 1985, I completed my thesis. He previously worked at Bangor University as a Research Officer in Computational Statistics.
In 1988, he spent a sabbatical year at Manchester University to pursue a master's degree in special educational needs. Brian's community role and attitude are as follows: - Visiting children and students in their homes, schools, colleges, and universities. Helping families that choose to educate their children at home. To assist some people, a free-place and low-fee system is being used.
Chatting to parents and assisting in the formation of support networks. Successful teaching and learning practices should be well documented and archived. He's jotting down thoughts and sketches for his comic math books.
