The next four activities are about exploring the different types of resources that are available on the Internet. You will be looking at some given websites and identifying the different types of resources that are available on these sites. You will be asked to complete a tick table to record what is available.

It is very useful to be able to save websites and view them offline, so as to keep phone costs down. If you need help on this, please consult the tip sheet on saving websites.

You will also be asked to share some of your opinions with your colleagues by writing a short review of a site and what is available on it.

In these activities you will:

1. Explore and review given mathematics related websites to produce a tick table that accurately categorises what types of resources are available on each site.
2. Use a set of criteria to rate one of these above websites in relation to what might be useful in your classroom and share this with your group.
3. Explore and review freely available software on the Internet, as well as commercial software.
