Shows primary school children learning mathematics from their own discoveries. The teachers have planned the work after careful observations of the children using materials in their own environment. Experiments undertaken are part of a sequence and show progression, but the children are free to follow particular interests as they arise. Music by Jocelyn Crompton.
