This is a great online maths activity for the advanced thinkers (if you are going to use all four cards) but allows for the not so high achievers. Deffinately going to introduce this to my upper grade 4's

This looks like an amazing site with loads of activities for teachers and students. Amazing when do people find the time to put this together and who is paying for it?
Yep Andrew, total agree! Not quite sure how the stages relate to VELS. But loads of open ended problems and games. Seems to have activities for just about all of the different areas of the Maths cirriculum.
I was even more intrigued when he made reference to the work of Bernard Suits that claims there are three constituent parts that make up games:
To play a game is to attempt to achieve a specific state of affairs [prelusory goal], using only means permitted by rules [lusory means], where the rules prohibit use of more efficient in favour of less efficient means [constitutive rules], and where the rules are accepted just because they make possible such activity [lusory attitude].

Lots of good Internet based games: e.g Algebra puzzles which could be used to form the basis for a lesson or also could be used as an intro warm up or early finishers activity. Most activities would suit upper primary, however some extension students would benefit from playing the games.
Has a good selection of logic games e.g. factory balls and popular games, such as battleships.
Has a good selection of instructional maths videos, which look very useful.
This is our Italian blog at North Fitzroy Primary school in Victoria Australia. It has information about activities taught, important dates and ideas for incidental teaching in the classroom. Please leave a post! Arrivederci!
