Links is an outstanding resource that will help teachers and students discover what makes the MYP so different - it emphasizes the acquisition of skills, attitudes and values using the Areas of Interaction.

All of this, with great maths knowledge and understanding. Students will enjoy learning maths, see how it is used in real life, and become reflective and skilled mathematicians.

Finally, a fantastic resource written and edited by practising, experienced MYP mathematics teachers. Each of the 'pick up and go' activities addresses one of the Areas of Interaction in a relevant, interesting and fun way.

For teachers who ask, "How do I include the AOI's in my maths lessons?", Links will be invaluable.

What a fantastic new resource! Links is an innovative book that centers around the different areas of interaction. The chapters explore intriguing guiding questions and incorporate real world applications. Students draw their own conclusions after analyzing the data.

The book is extremely flexible - it can be a source of ideas, used for a short assignment, a revision of concepts covered in the course, the beginning of an in-depth project, or even the starting block for many interdisciplinary units.

For a new teacher to the MYP programme, Links Mathematics is invaluable! The guiding questions opened doors for interdisciplinary units, in-depth discussions, and natural connections to the Areas of Interactions while strengthening prior knowledge and the exploration of new material.

The activities were short and precise which helped my students adapt to the MYP language and curriculum!

As an MYP maths teacher you have most likely found that one of the most demanding aspects of teaching maths in this programme is making sense of the areas of interaction, as well as integrating them into your routine practice in the classroom.

Worry no more! Links helps you cover a variety of suitable grade 6 (year 7) content through different Areas of Interaction and offers further possibilities for interdisciplinary work.

I am delighted that you are continuing this series of books for MYP Mathematics. I am most impressed by the connections that you have made between mathematics and the world around us. I also liked the fact the books are not too cluttered and dense.
