Teachers Resources Online

It is a very useful site for classroom teachers. It does not deal with any philosophical issues on mathematics education etc. but provides simple, easy-to-use and replicate downloadable resources for a typical mathematics teacher.

Description of the website: The purpose of these resources is to provide material which teachers of mathematics can use in their classrooms. All of the material can be viewed and assessed as to its suitability on the screen and, when something suitable has been found, can be printed out to serve as a master from which the necessary classroom copies can be made. The material is very wide-ranging in content and it will require the teacher to decide where, when and how any of it is to be used.

Features of the website: For convenience, the sheets have been grouped under headings which should convey some idea of what the sheets in the group are concerned with. Those headings are amplified here as a further help. Many, but not all, of the units contain notes and suggestions for the teacher. The headings of the topics are linked so that the material available for that topic can be called directly from these notes.
