The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to P4C designed for students in KS1, 2 & 3: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun. This download is also suitable for older students: but the format was designed with younger students in mind. The topic of this Philosophy Boxes download is ‘The Philosophy of Maths & Numeracy’. The download comprises a P4C lesson/session that can be used 2-3 times with the same group. The aim of Philosophy Boxes is to bring philosophy and critical thinking into every subject at every level: we believe that any subject becomes philosophy when students are asked the right questions and when they think about a topic hard enough and on the deepest (most fundamental) level. The Philosophy Boxes Method presents students with a set of ‘mystery boxes’, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities [that use 1 of 8 different formats]. The presentation has integrated AfL so that teachers can test knowledge at any point in the lesson. There are 10 different AfL slides to choose from. The design is colourful, animated, fun and engaging: all activities require movement and teachers can decide whether students are expressing their ideas purely verbally or by using post-it notes. The nature of the design is that it can be used for short sessions (5-10 minutes) or much longer sessions (up to 2 hours!) - it allows for classroom practitioners to be flexible and adaptable. It can, therefore, be used in lessons or as a tutor-time activity. The download includes a PowerPoint Show; if you would like an editable PPT presentation so that you can make your own ‘Philosophy Boxes’ presentation you will need to download the template here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-the-philosophy-boxes-method-template-for-creating-your-own-philosophy-boxes-lessons-p4c-p4k-11463227 A complete selection of Philosophy Boxes lessons can be found here: https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?&q=philosophy+boxes+godwin86 You can also save money by purchasing lessons as bundles.

The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to PSHE designed for students in KS2-4: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun.

Created by a Philosophy teacher and experienced formal debater in collaboration with his colleagues in the Maths department. This PPT file contains 100 debates and discussion relevant to the study of mathematics and, especially, ‘The Philosophy of Mathematics’ (allowing teachers to bring P4C [philosophy for children] into the Maths classroom). The presentation is complete with exciting animated graphics to foster engagement! The file contains a randomiser slide, allowing a random debate topic to be generated. Each debate slide asks students to move from one side of the room or the other to make their position clear: teachers should then use questioning to foster a debate between students, encouraging them to present reasons for their choice and defend their position. Uses: -Effortless planning of Maths lessons -Instant cover lessons -Debating societies -Maths P4C (Philosophy for children) cross-curricular resource -Making best use of spare time at the end of lessons -Form time activities -Developing speaking and communication skills -SMSC (deals with some moral and spiritual issues in relation to maths) Topics are generally accessible to all ages, but the product is designed with KS3-5 in mind. Thank you for taking the time to look at this product: if you are interested in other debate generating products I have also made similar products relating to Philosophy, Moral Dilemmas, and History.

Boggle brains with this fully resourced philosophy lesson explores the fundamental nature, assumptions, foundations, and implications of mathematics! This multi-use interactive philosophy lesson explores ‘Philosophy of Mathematics’: the branch of philosophy that studies the nature of mathematical truth, mathematical proof, mathematical evidence, mathematical practice, and mathematical explanation. This fully resourced philosophy lesson is ideal for teachers who want to explore philosophy of mathematics with students aged 8-16*; we’ve carefully selected the most significant issues and questions relating to philosophy of science so that young learners can engage in fun philosophical discussions and debates. This session explores topics such as: The nature of mathematics The unique nature of mathematical knowledge Theories of mathematics such as logicism, intuitionism and formalism The link between mathematics and the natural world The idea that mathematics can be beautiful The big question asked in this session is “Are mathematical laws invented or discovered?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical questions such as What is a number? What is the purpose of mathematics? To what extent is nature itself governed by mathematical principles, rules and laws? Does a mathematical law refer to physical reality or is it only a mental construct with no bearing on reality? What is the relationship between scientific knowledge and mathematics? Students will also analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical claims such as: “Mathematical knowledge is something we discover entirely through studying the physical world” “Numbers never lie” “Mathematics is the best way to objectively understand the world” “Living a good life depends on an understanding of mathematics” and “Mathematics is best understood as being like a game” This session uses our unique format for philosophy teaching resources and features an integrated menu that allows teachers to select from a variety of starter, main, plenary, assessment and end-of-lesson reflection activities. With a massive selection of activities designed to trigger philosophical discussions, debates and reflections: you can re-use the resource numerous times with the same group. This resource is especially suitable for teachers of mathematics who are looking to explore the fundamental nature, assumptions, foundations, and implications of mathematics more deeply with students and bring philosophy, philosophical thinking and critical thinking into their maths lessons.
