Learning Pathway: Developing classroom resources for maths


In this module, you will use ICT to produce learner-centred mathematics resources to use with mathematics learners in your classroom.

In this activity you will be making decisions based on your school's resources. The activities that you do in a classroom always depend on resources.

Activity 1
What can you do with your resources?

You will now search the Internet and find different resources that might help you to develop your own classroom resource. In this activity you will choose a topic for a particular grade that you would like to focus on in this activity and other activities in this module, to produce a learning experience .

Activity 2
Choosing a grade and topic to develop

In this activity you will be trying to find interesting new ideas to use to develop your learners' understanding of the specific topic in mathematics that you chose in the previous activity. You will be drawing on and expanding the list of good websites that you found in the module on ICT Maths Resources for Educators.

Activity 3
Search for mathematics classroom resources

The next step in the development process is to plan out what your outcomes will be and which activities you will take into the classroom and when.

Activity 4
Planning a learning experience

In this activity you will create a detailed plan in a word-processed table of the learning experience you are developing.

Activity 5
Table formatting and planning

In the remaining activities, you will be putting together all of the resources you will need to take with you into a classroom for your learners. These activities may be printed on paper or, if your learners have access to computers themselves, they could be in the form of computer files that your learners can access.

Activity 6
Looking at layout

In this activity you will comment on a resource from one of the members in your group. Someone else will be giving feedback on your resource.

Activity 7
Producing the resources
Activity 8
Evaluating a resource from one of your peers

Activity 9
(Optional)
