Dear colleagues,

We have created a free repository of math questions at www.STEMcollection.com. Up to date, there are slightly over 3000 questions in the repository, all of them created by teachers and shared under a Creative Commons licence.

If you would like to participate, you can:

• Point your students to the URL of any random exercise for training purposes, as they have fix URLs. For example: …

Mathematics is a rich and complex subject filled with real life application. However, due to the pressure of the "test" and the mass amount of material, teachers find themselves getting through the content by lecture and drill. As Dan Meyer says, "The mathematics classroom needs a make over." Telannia Norfar, BIE National Faculty, will take you through Project Based Learning process which combines mastery of mathematics content and communication/collaboration/critical thinking skills.…

Colin's link to the blog post on causation reminded me of the post I wrote on my blog recently on infographics.

There are some excellent examples available.

You can see the examples and resources here.

A discussion group with over 2300 members. Created by Andrei Radulescu-Banu for discussing mathematics in K-12, primary and secondary school. Do create your own topic for discussion. There is likely to be a quick response and active debate. This group is open to anyone on LinkedIn.

Interactive geometry programs such as GeoGebra and CaRMetal are powerful tools for learning about geometry. You can use them to explore the basic principles of paper-folding (Origami). I learned about the mathematics of folding paper circles from:…

I present some experiments with interactive geometry software on Slideshare.net at: Circles in Triangles using Geometric Construction. This follows on from my previous presentation:…
