For a survey of the problem-solving strategies called for in the Circus as a whole, look at this document: Heuristics applied in The Magic Mathworks Travelling Circus (PDF, 1.7MB). These notes comprise a checklist for teachers who have visited the circus and are interested in helping their students develop the ways of thinking that a hands-on maths lab encourages. The booklet is in two parts. Part A lists some twenty stations. For each, the relevant heuristic methods are listed. Part B lists the methods themselves, taking as examples the stations keyed from Part A. Free Adobe Acrobat Reader software required
