The article focuses on the proposal to utilize fashion and paper dolls to assist mathematics teachers in teaching the students on multiplicative principle in Great Britain. The proposal aims to help the children understand multiplication much easier through integrating fashion and paper cut outs which are entertaining and an enjoying activity. It notes that the method enhance the child's imagination, creativity, combinatorics and logic.

Suggests ways mathematics teachers can make use of documents which were distributed to schools in Great Britain during the life of the National Curriculum. Includes an activity involving corner numbers; Squares and lines; Benefits of working on the activities.

The article presents the author's response to the white paper which centers on the significance of teaching in Great Britain. He addresses the declined status of math teaching profession in the country. He points out that an argument will occur in the increasing control from the centre in relation to nationalised education curriculum, assessment, and pedagogy for students learning. He recommends for the expansion in the scope of key stage two tests review intended for primary education.

The article presents some basic concepts from knot theory as a natural extension of commonly-taught geometric ideas in Great Britain. Accordingly, the paper discusses the three basic knot theory activities that are appropriate for elementary grade children. The paper also suggests that students must try to come up with their own knots by starting with an actual rope, or else with flat drawings and experiment it with different crossing combinations to see if new knots can be discovered.

The author describes his categorization of practical mathematical tasks using drama, body maths and a host of outlandish props in Great Britain. Accordingly, the author discusses the categories in this teaching method and how it can be effectively applied in the classroom. He concluded that this teaching method is an invitation to the classroom teacher to design their own kinaesthetic and visual lessons by dipping, in an inventive way, into the categories presented in the paper.

Presents insights on papers presented in second and seventh International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME). Changing concerns of the ICME; Teachers as researchers in action; Reason behind the gap between teachers and researchers in mathematics.

The article reports on the research on assessment and learning in Great Britain. Accordingly, the researchers have synthesized evidence from over 250 studies linking assessment and learning. The result of the research revealed that effective assessment promotes learning. The research also indicates that improving learning through assessment depends on five factors which are also presented in the paper.
