Teacher Resources On Line (TROL)
“Teacher Resources On Line”:http://www.ex.ac.uk/trol/trol/index.htm has a lot of downloadable PDF files with quizzes, problems and mini-investigations. Could be useful. The “arithmetic practice”:http://www.ex.ac.uk/trol/trol/trola.pdf PDF file has 12 pages of puzzles around tables and simple arithmetic operations but presented in a puzzly way with number squares and other visual shapes. Could be handy for use with Access students who need to increase their confidence with basic maths.
“MisMaths”:http://www.ex.ac.uk/trol/trol/mismaths/trolmm.htm is a collection of misuses of Maths in the media collected over a period of years. Some of these are very funny, and I will use some of the percentage/fractions mis-statements when I’m teaching percentages soon.
