There is a new microsite, Schools Working Together, to support practitioners who are working with individuals and groups of teachers in the primary and secondary sectors to improve the learning and teaching of mathematics. I encourage you to register and participate in the collaboration and build the community.

Mathemapedia is a good place to delve into the thinking behind an aspect of mathematics or pedagogical practice. Written by teachers, for teachers, any teachers can submit articles for consideration, or comment on those already available. Take a look - and contribute your own.

Mathematics of the people, for the people, by the people: encouraging mathematical happiness. Check out this piece of collaboration done by 3 students from different parts of the world : http://www.blog.republicofmath.com/archives/4228

This site is an archival repository of papers and records of mathematicians and mathematical organizations,which also includes resources for researchers seeking primary sources in mathematics. Check out the following article: http://www.maa.org/q/pgs33_42.pdf

Numbers pervade the fabric of our lives: from the statistics quoted in newspaper articles to the probabilities we weigh in card games. This site features the world of mathematical thinking: a place of risk, possibility and mystery. Check out "Maths in Action"!

The site is aimed at students who wish to learn mathematics independently by investigation, and at teachers to use in the classroom with an interactive whiteboard, smartboard or classroom computers. The applets are virtual manipulatives for those who like to learn visually and kinaesthetically, by doing things and watching what happens. They are split into two age groups 11 to 16 years and 16 to 19 years. The videos are for review and revision of the topics, inside or outside the classroom, and for those who prefer a visual and aural learning style. Waldomaths is a website authored and maintained by myself, Ron Barrow, a part-time teacher.

Website include Flash, java applets, Scientific Notebook and LiveMath for mathematics.

Mathematics teaching instructional approaches and strategies are shared here e.g. Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI)

A digital library containing Java applets and activities for K-12 mathematics.

Math Manipulatives contains resources that enable students to interact online and also calculator resources. We begin with a short virtual manipulatives essay, which addresses the following: Or, you may jump right to the resources: In What are Virtual Manipulatives?, Patricia Moyer, Johnna Bolyard, and Mark Spikell (2002) defined a virtual manipulative as "an interactive, Web-based visual representation of a dynamic object that presents opportunities for constructing mathematical knowledge"
