Tales of the Expected is a series of six five-minute video shorts in pop-video style aimed at the 16+ market. They are fast-moving and stylish using contemporary images. They are intended to create a positive culture towards mathematics. The video titles are: Riders, Chancers, Builders, Stackers, Coders and Shakers.
The videos were produced under the direction of the Centre for Mathematics Education at the Open University. The Centre has an international reputation for courses that have had a positive influence world-wide on the teaching and learning of mathematics.
The videos are supported by a separate Viewer’s Guide. The Viewer’s Guide enables viewers to derive the greatest benefit by watching the videos one-by-one and carry out short tasks which highlight the mathematical concepts. The Guide includes web-sites and other contacts for resources for those who want to continue their interest in the topics.
The Viewer’s Guide can also be purchased in a pack of 5 copies. Please see XMY2K/03
