Useful Maths Resources And Websites
Good teachers don’t just produce excellent resources themselves, they also make sure that they use other people’s ideas and materials. This not only saves time – it also allows for the spread of good ideas and keeps experienced teachers fresh. Most teachers will take good resources and adapt them for their own lessons and classrooms (subject to copyright of course!)
Here we have assembled some of our favourite websites/resources that are available on the web. This can only be a small snapshot– there are bound to be loads of great ideas which we have missed. This is why you should talk to your fellow Maths Scholars and even arrange a time to meet up and swap resources – the benefits could be huge!
This list focuses on free resources – your school may also use services which you pay for such as MyMaths.
1. TES Website
For many teachers the TES Website is the number one resource on the web. It is now the case that you have to pay for some of the resources, but you can avoid this by filtering down to just look at free resources. Top Tip: Some teachers find that it is best to find resources straight from Google rather than by using the TES search function. For example, you could type “quadratic equations tes” into Google.
2. Mr Barton
Mr Barton's website is a treasure trove of resources, focusing on topics right up to A level. Have an explore and you will definitely unearth some gems. In fact, Mr Barton has his own list of Best Maths Websites.
3. NRICH
