In the UK, the use of film for teaching mathematics was promoted by the Association of Teachers of Mathematics (ATM).

The Swiss educator Jean Nicolet produced a series of stunning videos in the 1950s (two are available on this site). The Egyptian polymath Caleb Gattegno further developed films for the classroom, building on Nicolet’s work. The “Circle image” film if my recreation of one Gattegno’s films.

Follow “Films” to access the films themselves. “Ways of working” describes tried and tested classroom methods.

Two of Nicolet’s original films are published on this website with kind permission from Educational Solutions (UK) Ltd. A DVD of Nicolet’s films is available here: https://cuisenaire.co.uk/product-category/films/
