Downloadable Essentials is a new section on MathsKit.

Screenshot from MathsKit EssentialsIn meeting the purpose of MathsKit, quick links to resources for Maths teachers, there are free downloads of graph paper and lots of grid images. There are lots of sites offering free graph/grid paper, but not so many providing high quality grid images with the specific purpose of using them in a worksheet or exam create in Word (or other program). Please suggest other files that should be available, I will gradually make and add.

‘Tis the season to be programming.

Teachers in NSW are currently programming for the New NSW K–10 syllabuses for the Australian curriculum in Mathematics. (Of course, teachers in other states have already implemented the Australian Curriculum) As all these teachers are programming and collecting resources, I’ve updated MathsLinks and MathsFaculty with the outcomes from this new syllabus.

You can now browse MathsLinks by the New NSW Syllabus for the A.C..

I hope as you find a resource for the new syllabus that you can submit the link on MathsLinks and reference it with the new outcomes.

If you create a new resource, MathsFaculty would be a great place to share it, again uploaded resources can be linked to the new outcomes.

For those outside of NSW, you can also browse by Australian Curriculum outcomes.
