The research summaries in this collection highlight promising teaching practice at the classroom level. Produced by a partnership between the Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat and the Ontario Association of Deans of Education, the articles are written by scholars at Ontario universities who are experts in the field of education.

Math Central is an Internet service for mathematics students and teachers. It is available in English, French, and Spanish.
The site includes:
* Resource Room: teaching resources and glossaries
* Quandaries and Queries: ask a question or search and browse answers
* Mathematics with a Human Face: biographies and career information
* Teachers' Bulletin Board: conferences, organizations, newsletters and periodicals
* Outreach Activities: Canadian educational outreach opportunities
* Math Beyond School: articles addressing "where will I ever use this?"
* Problem of the Month: see a new problem in September
The aim of SAIDE ACEMaths project was to pilot a collaborative process for the selection, adaptation and use of OER materials for teacher education programmes in South Africa.
Over a period of two years we adapted, piloted and revised a set of materials on the teaching and learning of maths for teacher education. These are now available for downloading FOR FREE in two formats - for printing (PDF), and for adaptation (Word). See the ACEMaths Module to have a look.
We have selected relevant material from MIT's introductory courses to support students as they study and educators as they teach the AP® Calculus curriculum.
Gapminder is a browser-based application which presents international statistics (relating to health, wealth, population etc.) in a highly interactive graph. The aim of Gapminder is to promote a fact-based world view through increased understanding of socio-economic data.
"This model for learning mathematics may be quite different from what teachers experienced themselves in the past where classrooms were less interactive, filled with little activity and conversation. Teachers were generally in control, directing all aspects of what was to be learned; different points of view and approaches seldom brought to the surface new ideas and insights and a high degree of redundancy meant that everybody learned the exact same thing at the exact same time.

"Did you know you can measure whether students have fragmented or cohesive conceptions of mathematics, or whether they learn at a surface- or deep-level? Did you know there are concept inventories available for research purposes at the level of prealgebra"
