Use your e-diary to record your thoughts about finding Mathematics resources on websites. Do you have experience of this, if so, has it been helpful in your teaching practice?

1. Visit at least two mathematics teaching websites. For each one use the table provided to summarise what mathematics resources can be found on the website. Click here for the table to use to summarise what mathematics resources can be found on the website.

You may visit any site of your choice, but for your convenience, some major mathematics teaching sites are listed here:

Maths Forum - an international website, the Math Forum's mission is to provide resources, materials, activities, person-to-person interactions, and educational products and services that enrich and support teaching and learning in an increasingly technological world.

Malati (Mathematics Learning and Teaching Initiative) - MALATI's brief was to work independently, complementary to government curriculum development, seeking to develop, pilot and spread alternative approaches and tools for teaching and learning mathematics and at the same time, to make a direct contribution to Curriculum 2005, e.g. by developing materials as interpretations of Curriculum 2005 and making these available to LACs and publishers for maximum immediate impact. MALATI is a co-operative project of mathematics educators at the Universities of the Western Cape, Stellenbosch and Cape Town

Discovery Education - Although not focusing exclusively on Mathematics, DiscoverySchool.com is an American website that provides innovative teaching materials for teachers, useful and enjoyable resources for students, and smart advice for parents about how to help their children enjoy learning and excel in school.

Mathsnet - MathsNet.net is an independent British educational website providing free mathematics resources to the education community. Its aim is to offer truly interactive resources that are both wide and deep in terms of their applicability and usefulness. MathsNet is not an online textbook. It is interactive, requiring the user to participate rather than be a passive observer.

Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications (COMAP) - COMAP, the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications, is an award-winning non-profit organization in the United States of America whose mission is to improve mathematics education for students of all ages. Since 1980, COMAP has worked with teachers, students and business people to create learning environments where mathematics is used to investigate and model real issues in our world.
