| Description | Correspondence primarily between Z P Dienes and Maurice Ash relating to Zoltan P Dienes and his desire to become involved in a consultative capacity across the Dartington campus and other educational departments, including Devon County Council and Exeter University. The bulk of the letters discuss Dienes' requests for financial support and Maurice Ash's offer of funding via the Howe Green Trust, an independent charity, for a three year period as a Research Fellow. Later correspondence refers to The Dartington Hall Trust's support of the Fellowship through association, but not financially nor administratively. Letters also cover Dienes' unsuccessful search for funding for the publication of his teachers notes and games resulting from his consultancy role.
The folder includes: 'Mathematical Games, Mainly for Amusement', based on the games played with teachers and children in Victoria, Australia 1976; biographical and professional information; working documents relating to elementary school teaching of mathematics, and also on interdisciplinary learning; |
