A collection of resources targeted at enhancing the teaching of maths
at Key Stages 3 and 4
I have resisted assigning a specific SATs level
or GCSE grade to each resource as this
soon gets complicated with most resources being applicable to many
different ages and ability. Indeed, with a bit of modification, you
could argue that each resource can be made appropriate to all! See
the Software Tutorials section
for help using any of the software.
Please look at the bottom of the page for a couple of technical
issues!
Please Note: Several
of the Flash games come from the excellent Flashymaths
website. Keep your eye on it as there's the promise of more top
quaility games to come in the future!
Technical Issues
1. Excel
In order to use many of the interactive spreadsheets in this section,
you must ensure Excel is correctly set up on your computer
(a) enable macros - go to tools
> options > scrutiny> macro security and then ensure
that it is set to medium. You will then
be asked each time you open a spreadsheet whether you wish to enable
macros, and just click yes!
(b) analysis toolpak - because the spreadsheets
use fancy numerical functions, you need two add-ins installed. Go
to tools > add-ins and make sure both
analysis tool pak and analysis
toolpak - vba are ticked.
You may then need to reopen the excel file for the changes to take
place!
2. Extra Software
In order to view and use any of
these resources, you must have the software installed on your computer.That
shouldn't matter for Office products such as PowerPoint,
Excel and Word,
but you may need to download software such as:
- Adobe Flash player (click
to download for free)
- Tarsia JigSaw (click
to download for free)
- Autograph (purchase)
- Geometer's Sketch Pad (purchase)
