The article presents the discussion on testing across compulsory education having negative impacts upon children's mathematics education. Topics include encapsulating twelve years of compulsory mathematics education using three examination papers over the course of a few weeks in May/June; and examination question being used for assessing students' engagement with relationships and the interconnectedness of mathematics.

The article focuses on the activity programs in education that could lead to deep progress and counter the short term goals and quick delivery that seem to lead to whole terms of revision and no long-term learning. The activity program mentioned in the article is about inequality sign in mathematics. A lot of time was spent on the activity with the students, discussing the number line, the set of solutions and the boundary. Before moving to the idea of solution, there were plenty of opportunities to work on substitution. What students need is to have a depth of understanding of the work, so that they do not spend all their time rehearsing the examination question without anything to hang their learning on.

The article presents the author's discussion on a teaching method which develops students' skills and understanding about mathematics. The paper-folding activity known as Dragon curves is a strategy that lets the teachers to ask questions about the folding. The authors believe that asking good questions is an important part of teaching children mathematic thinking. Thus, Dragon curve activity is a proper strategy in mathematics teaching.

Assesses the effectiveness of paper folding fractions for mathematics students.

The article presents a discussion on the impact of pupil's attitude on their attainments in mathematics and the importance of fostering positive attitudes. The author states that his experience as a teacher made him believe that the attitude of the pupils has a profound effect on the way they learn mathematics. The paper addresses the questions, which includes the importance of attitude, teaching's effect on attitude and the teachers' job to promote positive attitudes.
