This website is K-12 with algebra tiles, fractions and interactive games on the computer. It also has a "grapher" that graphs up to 3 functions. I use it to find x and y-intercepts of lines or parabolas

A fun online Spirograph, great for maths lessons, looking at cogs and cams in D&T and pop culture in art.

An amazing maths Apple, Windows Phone and (soon) Android app which works out equations by taking a photo of them.

"I began my personal journey into the world of Cubing when I was attending Regis University in Denver, Colorado in 2009. My senior thesis project involved devising a cryptosystem using the Rubik's Cube to encode and decode messages. Although my involvement with the Rubik's Cube waned post-graduation, it was rekindled shortly after I became a secondary teacher of mathematics in 2014. I had several Rubik's Cubes in my possession from my college days and these decorated the shelves in my classroom. I recall these puzzles catching the eyes of many curious pupils. After months of traditional curriculum presentation, I determined that my students were in need of a novel lesson, one that would ignite a passion for problem-solving. This lesson would involve the colourful and alluring hexahedron puzzle on my desk: the Rubik's Cube."

I really like this article because of how relatable it is. I want my students to ask questions but getting them to ask them is the tricky part. Encouraging them constantly that they can do it and to ask questions can be exhausting but that's what I want so that they will become confident and improve. I also love the end of the article were she talks about giving credit for showing work even if the answer is wrong. I do this in my classroom as well because if I see that the student is trying then I can hopefully help them in he future move toward the correct answer.

This is a great article. I run into adults today who when I say I am going to teach math they say "ooh why? Math was alway so hard." And I can admit at times my response it "but it's so easy." Which obviously isn't the greatest response to that. However, they react the same way the article describes, by claiming they aren't "math people" and didn't get it. But every one can learn math (can learn anything for that matter).

Demonstrates the utility of exergames for teaching and learning. "Our goal is to design a math game for children aged between 8 and 12. Our focus in basic operations: adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying. Players must gather a given number of objects in order to properly complete mathematical operations while at the same time avoiding or destroying other objects that cause him to lose energy or reduce the time given to complete the task."

Challenges for collaboration and team building in math. Lots of SMPs incorporated here.

Wonderful, imaginative resource for students and teachers of Math.
