Great Math Website for Interactive Whiteboard or Tablet

I wanted to share this great math website with you that I was alerted to the other day.

This website (http://nrich.maths.org) is actually the home page of the NRICH Project, which started in 1996 and is based in both the University of Cambridge's Faculty of Education and the Centre for Mathematical Sciences.

On this website you will find thousands of our free mathematics enrichment materials (problems, articles and games) for teachers and students from ages 5 to 19 years. All the resources are designed to develop subject knowledge, problem-solving and mathematical thinking skills. New content is published to the site every month.

There are some great problem solving activities and interactive games which would work well with your interactive whiteboard or tablet. I can see many of these problems useful when using stations with students or allowing students to collaborate in groups and work the problem at the same time with several different Mobis connected.

Some of the great things that are free and available from their website are...
Curriculum mapping documents : rich tasks linked to process skills and content knowledge to help teachers with their planning

Games : a list of games that can be found on the site

Articles : a list of articles about mathematics (for learners and teachers) that can be found on the site

Interactive resources : a list of resources with the interactive whiteboard in mind

Maths finder : search for resources by topic

Packages : handy bundles of NRICH resources which you can either preview online or download for later offline use

Research and journal articles : articles we have written about the work we do

Other freebies : order postcards or download posters for display

Thesaurus : mathematical terms explained

Ask NRICH : mathematics discussion board - get help if you are stuck

Online professional development for primary teachers : materials to support school-based professional development
