A+ Maths - simple multiplication division and subtraction problems to do online or off-line using flash cards that are free to print. Also a homework helper and a games room

allmath.com - the people at Arbor Media Inc. (a web company based in Michigan) have put together this useful site. It has some helpful resources here such as the metric converter - well worth remembering - online activities such as the 'Flash Cards' and the Magic Square game and links to other 'math' sites. Lots of useful little bits here: thank you to Eve for finding the site!

Ask Dr Math - A good site (although American) where pupils or teachers can ask maths questions of Mr Math. Maintained by Drexel University.

Aunty Math - A bit American, but a good idea. Children are presented with a different maths puzzle each day. The solution can be sent in and there are teacher's tips for each challenge. There is also an archive of past puzzles.

Kali - This page is amazing! You must go there - I know I could stay for hours! This page features a symmetrical pattern generator the likes of which I have never seen. It's like a kalidascope that you can control. Teachers might want to make and then print examples of symmetrical patterns (great for wet-play colouring activities, too!) and children could use it to create their own patterns. Wow! What a page!

learn.co.uk - also recommended during a 2-day numeracy INSET for general maths resources.

Lesson Starters - A website by Birmingham City Education Department of focused warm-up ideas. The ideas have mainly come from an NQT training day held in 1996, but the site invites teachers to send in their own to build up the database.

The activities are mainly taken from Ginn publications, but there are also ideas sent in by teachers. There is also a resources section, 'tasters' of Ginn publications, and a links page.

Maths Web - Leicestershire's Numeracy Website - for general and word problems. At least this saves you having to type out 'Leicestershire'!!

Mega Maths - interactive quizzes and diagrams to make maths fun! Test your times tables here as well.

SuperKids Math Worksheet Creator - A great resource from SuperKids. An American site, but still very useful and a potential big time-saver. You choose what you want your pupils to practice and then select the other parameters (whether you want decimals etc.), click the button and program generates a worksheet for you.
