Mathematics: Juggling the Numbers
Posted on April 18th, 2010 by Anita
We may not realise it but everything in life is full of mathematics. Shapes, forms and sounds. Nature, time and space. Music, art and games. This is a step by step guide how to make your own mathematics display.

Create a time-line / checklist: This week copying and laminating - Next week: visit 2 dollar shops. - Two weeks: covering display boxes with matching paper - Three weeks: sea shells and driftwood collection
Your job will be much easier when you hold the stapler at an angle. The staples will stick out a bit at one side - perfect to get hold of them with pliers and pull them out.
Be careful with your fingers (blow - blow) the glue is very hot and you easily get blisters
Each object needs its own space. Think of a shop window that is more than full with appliances, you can’t distinguish one object from the other, while carefully placed objects attract the attention.
Staple cones or little boxes with contents to the board or little artificial lemons and cherries like in the GREEN FINGERS display.
You can hang little objects like postcards, notices, little books, art objects etc from the frame. Voile fabric draped over the frame will give it an extra elegance.... let your imagination run wild and try it out!!!
Or you staple boxes to the display board for books as in the above photo or to display all sorts of other materials
