In turn you will commit yourself to go regularly to the school to assist an experienced teacher and the class for 2 to 3 hours at the same time each week, for at least a university term. We are entering 'The Information Age' and the internet is opening up a friendly world with many new possibilities for exchanges and contacts between people. Children of all abilities are challenged and helped to reach their full potential and teachers as well as children have their mathematical questions answered. It encourages clear exposition and proof by publishing the best of the children's solutions and provides three newsgroups for the discussion of mathematics by school students and teachers. This is a bulletin board with sections where individuals get personalised answers and other sections where groups of people can contribute to the discussion of each question.
Quality control is exercised by training and monitoring.
All question and answer exchanges are stored, the project staff monitor them, edited versions are available on the web site archive, and unedited versions are available for future research.
