Availability of Skemp Mathematics Learning Activities
The mathematics learning activities that Richard Skemp developed for school children from kindergarten through age 11 or 12 are contained in:
- two teacher resource books, SAIL through Mathematics, Volumes 1 and 2
- two books of photomasters (blackline masters), SAIL through Mathematics, Volumes 1a and 2a, and
- a companion 'theory-for-teachers' paperback, Mathematics in the Primary School
Additionally, there are six VHS videocassettes showing: children being introduced to 31 of the Skemp mathematics learning activities; classroom lessons in which the activities are being used; and Richard Skemp discussing with teachers the activities and the theory which they embody.
These videocassettes are all available as Quicktime videos from this website.
