Teachers' Notes
Using the Maths Treasure Trails

Each Treasure Trail contains 10 questions, and a link to a site on the Internet. To make best mathematical use of the Treasure Trails children should be encouraged to work in small groups and to take their time over finding the answers and completing the Treasure Trail. Each link contained within the trail will direct the children to a site containing some mathematical element.
The children should take some time to fully explore and exploit each site rather than 'dipping in' to the site, finding the correct answer to the question then leaving the site and rushing on to the next one.
This will need some planning on your part. The Treasure Trail does not contain any provision for 'remembering' the children's responses, so as soon as they 'log off', their answers will be lost. It will be a good idea, therefore, to encourage the children to record their answers as they are entered so that next time they 'log on' they can quickly re-enter them and move on to their new explorations.

At the successful completion of each treasure trail children can be rewarded with a certificate.
