Laser Cutting - Mathematical Resources

This year we have a significant change in the curriculum delivery for Mathematics in New Zealand.   As part of that there is a move towards using a wide range of resources for use with the program.

We are always looking for opportunities to how we might use our schools technology in ways that can enhance the students learning.   In the example shown left one of the staff from school wanted to create a hundreds board (shown left) a tens board above and then a ones block.    These can be used in combination with other material to support learning.

Many of these designs can be located online, so the design time is potentially minimal or can be created very quickly.  Further examples are shown such as the token examples of the numbers left.

There is a significant opportunity for expanding this further in future, either by students or staff.
