This is a friendly and interactive website designed to help participants confidentially assess and improve their confidence with everyday maths in bite-sized steps – building confidence along the way. It is the central part of the National Numeracy Challenge- a UK-wide drive to tackle the major issue of low adult numeracy in the UK.
The National Numeracy Challenge is the main initiative of National Numeracy- an independent charity that focuses on helping adults and children with low levels of numeracy.
Four ratio questions presented visually. Covers dividing in a ratio, finding one share if you know the other, a question about adding more people to balance a ratio, and a question about simplifying a ratio in the context of a pictogram.
New site from a UK maths teacher who wants to share the many resources he has created to aid conceptual teaching. Files are for interactive whiteboards (Smart Notebook and ActivInspire Flipchart format) and the majority come with a Word document lesson plan (these are great!), a PPT, and a worksheet.
There is also a section on proof and some Tarsia PDF resources.
Lots of interactive maths resources categorised by level, topic and context. Content includes videos, Hot Potatoes, Quia activities, quizzes, tarsia puzzles, links to other sites. Very useful to help find activities on a particular topic/level. Covers levels from E1 to L2.

The National Learning Network materials have found a new home on the LSIS web site. Masses of onscreen interactive learning activities along with extensive tutor guidance. Although the materials were created quite a few years ago there is still much useful content. Covers numeracy from Entry 3 – Level 3, ESOL (E1-L2), Literacy (L1-L3), family learning, and a host of vocational subjects including care, beauty, business, and floristry (see pop up picture for details).
I have found this site very useful for understanding maths. There are clear explanations of basic maths concepts such as geometry, algebra, etc. I think tutors will find it useful if they need a ‘brush up’ and I have also recommended it to my students as there are interactive exercises, games and maths puzzles. There’s also an illustrated maths dictionary and small worksheet section.
