This is a link to someone's Diigo collection of Maths sites in the UK, with over 400 bookmarks!!
Incredibly well documented and resources we need to investigate in detail
"secondary maths education
These ideas might be of interest to some maths teachers, aimed at those who teach 11 to 16 year olds and those keen to encourage problem solving.

The connection between mathematics and art goes back thousands of years. Mathematics has been used in the design of Gothic cathedrals, Rose windows, oriental rugs, mosaics and tilings. Geometric forms were fundamental to the cubists and many abstract expressionists, and award-winning sculptors have used topology as the basis for their pieces. Dutch artist M.C. Escher represented infinity, Möbius bands, tessellations, deformations, reflections, Platonic solids, spirals, symmetry, and the hyperbolic plane in his works.
Mathematicians and artists continue to create stunning works in all media and to explore the visualization of mathematics--origami, computer-generated landscapes, tesselations, fractals, anamorphic art, and more.
"Free tutorials using java applets to explore, interactively, important topics in precalculus such as quadratic, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, polynomial, absolute value functions and their graphs. Equations of lines, circles, ellipses, hyperbolas and parabolas are also explored interactively. Graph shifting, scaling and reflection are also included. The definition and properties of inverse functions are thoroughly investigated. A graphical approach to 2 by 2 systems of equations is included. "
"A centre for teachers, students, researchers, parents, educators, and citizens at all levels who have an interest in mathematics education. Lots of links to resources at other sites."
All levels of short WS (labelled A, B, C etc) for additional practice. Not particular attractive but, st teh right level, very useful.
We should add to SoW as there are so many of the that might be useful at different times to different sets
Also known as WS by Dr Duncombe - we have quite a few in our group files in various places.
Suitable for each KS
Student Notes and WS
Useful for uploading to our website as the notes are followed by a few examples
