MathsKit
Saturday, 17 October 2009
I recently created a site called MathsKit. Whilst I added some links to it on this site, I haven’t actually mentioned it yet.
My intent with the site is to be a quick way to find the everyday essentials of maths teaching, like, graph paper, a maths dictionary or an interactive activities. And so, it’s a simple one page site, with links in ten categories. There’s also a search engine there, which I have mentioned before.
Do you have an suggestions for everyday sites for maths teachers? Leave your ideas in the comments.

You already have one of my favourite tools: puzzlemaker.
One link to add to your games list: fuelthebrain.com
This site has games appropriate for all levels (from odd/even in grade 1 up to some quick mental math and algebra)
I like it because all the games are educational and math appropriate. Too often I find a flash game that I like but it is hosted on a mainly “games” site, with many options that I either wouldn’t recommend to my students or don’t want them to use in class.
I also really like the idea of math game accountability:

actually, this post is also where I first heard of fuelthebrain.com

Sarah, great site!
Added it to MathsKit and the Links section.
The idea of math game accountability is something I’ve thought of, but never implemented – thanks for the link – I subscribe to Jason’s blog, so not sure why I missed it previously.
