This applet let's you drag the shapes into position and you play against others to get the best shape!

Maths in Work has been designed to offer glimpses of the real world of work via video clips, to help students appreciate not only the relevance of mathematics but its importance in every day life. The clips feature the people who are actually 'doing the job' and explain some of the maths processes that they are involved with on a daily basis. There is a brief synopsis of each clip which identifies the maths topics covered, and all clips end with the simple question, "What mathematics would be involved in the work you have just watched?" The teacher is free to approach the viewing in whatever way seems appropriate to his/her circumstances.

This great interactive simulation lesson with learner worksheets let learners investigate a crash scene, taking into account all evidence and then , using given formula, calculate data in ordert to detemine what happened.

This leaflet gives a quick overview of what ML learners will learn and how the knowledge will assist them in real life situations. It show the applicability of ML as a great subject.

The Materials Bank is a teaching resource for FET college lecturers. It includes learning and assessment activities which can be downloaded for use in your classroom. The downloaded materials can be adapted and edited to suit your needs. The activities were written for sector-based qualifications offered by colleges before the introduction of the NCVs. However there is a great deal of overlap between the two. Check the outcomes to see how these activities and ideas match the outcomes of your curriculum. It has been developed by the WCED

This is how Kloof explains ML on their school website. Is it comprehensive? What couls be added (subtracted)?

The aim of this study was thus to investigate mathematical literacy in relation to learners' motivations for the contexts they would prefer to deal with in mathematical literacy. The emphasis of the study is to concentrate on learner's written motivations for mathematical contexts. Data were collected using a questionnaire that deals with contexts for mathematics.

My goal is to explore the relationship between Mathematics and "mathematical literacy" in a way that might encourage a more critical analysis of the many appealing, but often rather vague, claims made by the advocates of "mathematical literacy" (aka "functional mathematics"). My focus is on school mathematics in England - though there are good reasons for believing that similar observations apply elsewhere.

Mmmm we could have a field day with the stats in this article!

Amusements in Mathematics is a collection of mathematical puzzles and brainteasers from English author and mathematician Henry Ernest Dudeney. The book includes over 450 illustrations. To view the Standalone version, you require the installation of the small file size DNL Reader. To get the DNL Reader, click the "Get DNL Reader" button on the site. It is worth it!
