All issues of the NCETM Primary Magazine are available here. Very interesting ideas in some articles. Do highlight if there are good articles/sharing/ideas.

There is a new microsite, Schools Working Together, to support practitioners who are working with individuals and groups of teachers in the primary and secondary sectors to improve the learning and teaching of mathematics. I encourage you to register and participate in the collaboration and build the community.

Mathemapedia is a good place to delve into the thinking behind an aspect of mathematics or pedagogical practice. Written by teachers, for teachers, any teachers can submit articles for consideration, or comment on those already available. Take a look - and contribute your own.

Mathematics teaching instructional approaches and strategies are shared here e.g. Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI)

Some good resources that can be used in our primary classrooms are Bobbie Bears, Cubes, Tessellation Creators etc. There are also activities for secondary schools. Examples are algebra tiles, congruence theorem etc.

Math Manipulatives contains resources that enable students to interact online and also calculator resources. We begin with a short virtual manipulatives essay, which addresses the following: Or, you may jump right to the resources: In What are Virtual Manipulatives?, Patricia Moyer, Johnna Bolyard, and Mark Spikell (2002) defined a virtual manipulative as "an interactive, Web-based visual representation of a dynamic object that presents opportunities for constructing mathematical knowledge"

A treasure trove of web 2.0 sites that support the maths classroom. They are categorised by tool type.

This is a continuing series on Web2.0 and other web-based tools for educators. This information is specific to math educators, but there is some crossover into science. Math educators will find a large number of useable interactive companion web sites for the teaching of math concepts and skills.

Numbers pervade the fabric of our lives: from the statistics quoted in newspaper articles to the probabilities we weigh in card games. This site features the world of mathematical thinking: a place of risk, possibility and mystery. Check out "Maths in Action"!

Provides links to many useful math sites.
