Bingo - MathsStarters. The five best rail trails in Australia. There are many rail trails across Australia; some are beautifully sealed and signposted, others have been barely touched since the rail sleepers were removed.
The overwhelming majority of rail trails, however, only extend a handful of kilometres, making for a very short bike ride. But times are slowly changing. We've pulled together a list of the top five rail trails in Australia – all above 50km – to keep you entertained for the entire weekend. It's not hard to notice that the list is very heavily skewed towards Victoria, with only the odd segue into South Australia. We considered trails all over the country, and two trails – one in Queensland and another in Western Australia – earned honourable mentions.

Exploring number The activities in this section are designed to promote an appreciation of numbers as products, the concepts of factorisation and prime factorisation, and to practice working with fractions.
Much use is made of graphical illustrations of number value to help visualise the properties being investigated. Exploring geometry The activities in this section are designed to help in the investigation of properties of triangles, lines, parabolas and general concepts in coordinate geometry.

Untitled. One day I received an email from my co-author, Steve Humble.
In some excitement, he told me that a magician named Derren Brown was introducing an interesting game on television. I was a little dubious upon hearing the word "magician", but after close examination I realised that the game had a mathematical background and was an interesting exercise in probability. Heads or tails? The game, called Penney Ante, involves flipping a coin, which you assume has equal probability of coming up heads or tails. The game is played by two players, A and B, who each select a sequence of three flips. Graphing Stories - 15 seconds at a time.

While there may be certain forms of mathematical reasoning that seem not to use imagery, most mathematical activity has a spatial component. If school mathematics is procedural, students may fail to develop their capacity to form mental images of mathematical patterns and relationships. It is well documented that students who reason from images tend to be powerful mathematics students. Further, we know that the ability to use images effectively in doing mathematics can be developed. When students are encouraged to develop mental images and use those images in mathematics, they show surprising growth. Quick Draw is an engaging mathematical activity that helps students develop their mental imagery. The discussion of what they saw is a crucial component of the activity.

Using brain-imaging technology for the first time with people experiencing mathematics anxiety, University of Chicago scientists have gained new insights into how some students are able to overcome their fears and succeed in math.
For the highly math anxious, researchers found a strong link between math success and activity in a network of brain areas in the frontal and parietal lobes involved in controlling attention and regulating negative emotional reactions. This response kicked in at the very mention of having to solve a mathematics problem. Teachers as well as students can use the information to improve performance in mathematics, said Sian Beilock, associate professor in psychology at the University of Chicago. Beilock and PhD student Ian Lyons report their findings in the article, "Mathematics Anxiety: Separating the Math from the Anxiety," published Oct. 20 in the journal Cerebral Cortex.
