* Maths Stuff for Schools is a scheme intended to support Maths Year 2000, the Department for Education and Employment initiative. Schools receive 250 tokens on registration, and can collect many more between now and June 2000 from McVitie’s biscuits, KP Hula Hoops and Skips and Mirror Group newspapers. The tokens can be redeemed against maths equipment listed in a special catalogue. Register at www.mathsstuff4schools.com or by calling 08452 065 065 * Alan Parr devises simple mathematically-based simulations for primary pupils built on World Cup seasons. He has produced one for the current Rugby World Cup which involves teachers allocating one or two lessons and children doing much of the work outside the classroom, choosing the tactics to guide the 20 teams through the competition in parallel with the event itself. Charity donations would be appreciated. Send an A4 or A5 SAE to him at 6 Longfield Gardens, Tring, Hertfordshire HP23 4DN, with a cheque made payable to Histiocytosis X Research or The Primary Club (which offers sporting opportunities to blind children).
