dear Simon we have laptops across the school; my main starting point is my "Delicious file":http://delicious.com/gdix; I have tags for all my links that correspond to the related textbook chapter; eg 08-05Probability tag refers to yr 8 chapter5 on probability; so my links all line up in sequential order:all the 07 links, chapter by chapter; then all the 08 links etc, which makes it easy to get the lesson related web resources I've found. I've also got an extensive geogebra library I've compiled and accumulated powerpoints etc. The hardest part currently is consolidating my resources into 1 access point, again organised by text chapeters for yr 7 through to 12 . Every so often i need to periodically review what i've got and discard/upgrade what has been collected/made in haste. I'm sure this is a common tale of woe begging for time which is swallowed up by much administrivia. Anyway... some links you may or may not know of which offer more comprehensive curriculum coverage with a signifigant ict element I appreciate that yours had more a "working mathematically "maths in context "problem solving aspect which is great and fundamental to relevance and engagement. Finally, what you indicated about taking time to integrate this maelstrom of maths into your coherent teaching persona is critical for feeling good about what you are doing in the classroom and also having a life. My guide is to reflect on what am I going to be doing in 4 years time and where do I think good maths teaching will be in 4 years time regards geoff dix "ASHGROVE QLD LINKS":http://teachers.ash.org.au/mikemath/resources/index.html Enrichment miscellaneous etc "CMIT":http://www.cimt.plymouth.ac.uk/projects/mep/default.htm "SELECTMATHS":http://boston.k12.ma.us/teach/technology/select/index.html "KEYED IN MATHS":http://www.netagency.co.uk/keyedin2/teach.html "LEARNALBERTA":http://www.learnalberta.ca/content/me5l/html/math5.html "SINGAPOREMATHS":http://singaporemathsource.com/resources/singapore-math-web-sites/ "Mathalicious":http://www.mathalicious.com/ "Regents Exam Prep Center":http://regentsprep.org/ "Waldo Maths":http://www.waldomaths.com/ "Math Open Reference":http://www.mathopenref.com/ "Connected Mathematics Project":http://connectedmath.msu.edu/ "MathBooster":http://www.freewebs.com/mathbooster/ "Bridgeport Mathematics Department":http://www.bridgeportmath.org/ "NEIRTEC":http://www.neirtec.org/activities/math_portal.htm
