This website allows students to contribute to a range of data through surveys and then access the data to use in many different ways. Great for statistics! [|Australian Census at School]

This website has a lot of ideas for financial maths investigations and lessons using money to develop mathematical concepts that suit both primary and secondary students. (It is a US site but lessons could easily be adpated to our currency) [|Money Maths]

// The following 3 presentations were from a Di Siemon presentation to Teaching & Learning Coaches. They provide some useful information and guidance for teaching numeracy. While these presentations are particularly focussed on early primary mathematical development, they will be of interest to teachers of mathematics across all levels of both primary and secondary schooling as they provide an understanding of how to scaffold mathematical learning for students.//

The first presentation outlines the development of early number ideas and strategies such as number fluency, counting, subitising and place value

The second presentation outlines the development of mutiplicative thinking and provides a number of strategies that will support the development of multiplication and division

The third presentation outlines the development of fractions and decimals
