If you've mentally given any 'yes' answers, you probably need to read this book! 100 Top Tips has been twenty years in the making! It represents much of what Andrew Jeffrey has learnt in his career as a teacher of the greatest subject in the world! One of the first people to read it (the Head of Maths at a specialist secondary school in London) promptly bought ten licenses so his entire department could have a copy, and declared that this book should be classified as essential required reading for all new and experienced teachers of mathematics alike! Depending on the size of your school, a license for each maths teacher in your school could cost less than a good meal out for two! Price for hardcopy: £6.50 Price for PDF download: £4.50 To pay by cheque click here. Top Twenty Maths Displays  This book will help you to come up with many ways to brighten up your classroom, while giving your class the chance to learn some mathematics at the same time. A stimulating environment is one of the three keys to a great maths lesson, and this book will give you lots of pointers towards achieving precisely that! Here are some of the comments from teachers who have read this book: “I think that this is a fantastic book containing some inspiring ideas for both existing and aspiring teachers” ”Your book looks superb and very, very helpful. Lots of lovely ideas together. A good source of useful display ideas.” “Really good ideas, which seem do-able, even with the lack of time we all suffer from!” “These are great - I can't wait to try them out! Love the interactive ideas.” “I particularly liked number 9 - so obvious, in a way, once you've seen it, but I hadn't thought of it!” “You are really starting to get a name for yourself for quality and usefulness.” Price for hardcopy: £5 Price for PDF download: £3.00 To pay by cheque click here. Magic Mind Reading Number Cards 
Ask someone to merely think of a number. Show them five cards with numbers on, ask if they see their number, then read their mind and correctly name their number! Works every time!" This is a totally ingenious trick that will make you appear to be a mind reader, or at the very least a lightning mathematician! You may remember this trick from when you were young, and inferior versions are available from other places on the Internet, but this is the only site where you can have access to Andrew’s exclusive booklet of notes. Not only will these notes help you perform the trick far better, but they will also help you to learn (or teach) BINARY in the simplest way ever! Whether you’re a maths teacher or a student willing to learn this important mathematical concept, you need these cards; have fun while you’re learning! Despite the simple principle involved, you will baffle your friends and family with these cards, and you don’t have to be good at maths to make it work! Supplied on laminated A6 cards for longer life, these are designed to be used and used. The cards also contain simple but effective refinements which will elevate your performance way, way above the average performer of this effect. For example, the original version only allowed numbers up to 31 to be thought of; with this set, you can choose to do the same, or have a number up to 64 chosen! Also, unlike the standard effect, you do not even have to look at the faces of the cards as you are showing them, making this as close to real mind-reading as you can get! The giveaway-price, including Andrew’s instructions and the clearest introduction to binary you are ever likely to meet, is just £5. To pay by cheque click here. Using Magic in the Maths Classroom  Imagine being able to tell someone the number they were just thinking of, despite nothing having been written down? Or asking someone to do some complex calculations on a calculator, using several 2 and 3- digit numbers that they choose and type in, and yet you can easily tell them the answer! Not only that, but the total can even be their own telephone number, and all with a 100% unfeked calculator! It can even be borrowed! The effects are suitable for pupils in Key Stages 2 to 4. This unique book is the product of many years experience, and contains the top ten mathemagical tricks from Andrew’s highly acclaimed Lecture, delivered at mathematics conferences up and down the land. If you have never attended the lecture, everything is thoroughly explained, including full details of: • Effects • Methods • Teaching and learning ideas The comb-bound, laminated cover book price is £8. The electronic version (pdf) of the book is available for download at a reduced price of only £5. To pay by cheque click here. I Wish I'd Said That! A beautiful set of 40 laminated A4 posters, each with a quotation, available as either a download or on a CD as a .pdf, and an information pack about the quoted folk, which will be included with both formats. The full package contains • The 40 A4 posters, each individually laminated • A set of teachers notes, giving ideas about effective ways to use the posters • Brief biographies of the famous (and not so famous) quoted men and women Price is £40. £20 for the CD only £15 for the pdf download To pay by cheque click here. Maths Day in a Box 
You are about to discover one of the best value-for-money purchases you may ever make from your school’s maths budget. And what’s more, it just got loads cheaper!! Please don’t confuse cost with value. The aim in selling this product at such a low price is to ensure that it gets into as many schools as possible. Also, if this package were to be sold at a higher, more realistic price, I would run the risk of having the product ‘ripped off’ by people who did not want to pay for it… Why do I claim that this product is worth so much more than its asking price? Anyone who has ever organised a whole school maths day knows how much work goes into it. For a start, there are the hours dreaming up and planning suitable activities. Then there is the time spent going round all the teachers persuading, explaining and supporting. Finally, there are the hours spent actually delivering instructions and carrying out activities. Also, if you do decide to invite other schools to participate (and after reading the manual, you’ll learn why this is such a great idea), there are the hours spent writing letters, keeping track of the participants, not to mention feedback forms and certificates. All this before you have even begun to think about the questions for the maths relay! A conservative estimate on all of the above would be around 30 hours work, freely given up by teachers. Costing a teacher’s time at around £20 per hour, this is about £600 worth of your precious time. But relax; you’ll be paying a mere fraction of that… What if all of the above was already done for you by one of the country’s leading maths practitioners? Well now it is; everything you need to deliver the perfect maths day is contained within this package: yes, EVERYTHING! (Obviously you will have to provide basic stationery and maths equipment, as the resources in this manual are all paper and CD-based. ). Is it any wonder that busy heads and maths coordinators see this as a great value package?! Just look at what’s included: • A comprehensive manual, detailing specific activities, each targeted at a Year Group of Nursery, Foundations Stage, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, all with learning intentions linked around a central theme • Photographs • Special Magical Assembly suggestions • PowerPoint Presentation for a Maths Relay • Sample letters in Word and .pdf format • Most importantly of all, a step-by-step guide which takes you effortlessly through the whole process • Sample Certificates in both Publisher and .pdf format • Excel Spreadsheet for tracking progress of invited schools • Excel Spreadsheet for marking the Maths Relay • Sample Press Release and details of the ideal photo you can produce which the local press will love! In short, this is the COMPLETE MATHS DAY PACKAGE!! Everything comes on a CD-ROM, though you will also receive hard copies to show staff what they can achieve very easily and with minimum preparation. Not only will this save time, it will save stress! Most of all, you will learn the thinking behind WHY things work so well as outlined, so that after you have followed the system through once, you will be in a much better position to produce your own maths days in the future. How many disappointing training days costing more than twice the price of this package have you attended? Wouldn’t you rather buy a proven product which is guaranteed to save you time? Remember, this low offer price includes a pack which contains photos, sample letters, PowerPoint Maths Relay Questions, the exhaustive manual, a CD-Rom with all necessary files, spreadsheets, and letters, and even a surprise magical bonus from the author! (Please note that this does NOT include maths equipment; it is expected that schools will already own the equipment needed.) Maths Day In A Box is for schools who wish to hold a great maths day (rather than just a good one) but don't have the time to know where to start. The manual takes you step by step right through the planning process, and includes a central theme, step-by-step guide, checklists, copyright-free letters, planning spreadsheets, ideas, posters, photographs and even a sample press release to help get some good publicity for your school! All the above comes with a free CD containing copyright-free documents for schools to quickly amend and use themselves. It even includes a magic maths trick to do during assembly, and a foolproof way to get all the schools in your area involved! Finally, I have been asked why the price been reduced so drastically? The reason is simple – I used to customize every single document on the CD and in the manual to include the name of the school. This was hugely time-consuming and meant that every single copy was bespoke and unique to the school. Sadly, I no longer have time to do this, but it does mean that I can charge far less as I am saving around two hours per pack! Price: Now just £57, including postage. (Previously £100).
