Welcome back for 2008.  We’ll start with a little multiplication strategy you may not have seen before…

This was brought to my attention via John Connell’s blog.  This could spark some interesting thought.  Certainly not one of the “variety of calculation strategies” that I would normally consider.

This Mathematics WOW is the Maths (or should I say Math) section of the well-known Primary Games.

Don’t forget to keep an eye on the Website of the Week display in the staff room.

Our enthusiastic and dedicated Mathematics Core Learning Team offer us another WOW (Website of the Week for those who missed the subtle acronym use last time).  Take some time to look around.

Thanks to the great work of Rebecca et al., this week’s Mathematics Website Of the Week is multiplication.com.  Take a look around and see if there is anything you can find useful in your classroom.
