Why am I learning this?

Mathematicians are not the people who find Maths easy; they are the people who enjoy how mystifying, puzzling and hard it is. Are you a mathematician?

"Very good starters, help pupils settle very well in maths classroom."

Comment recorded on the 19 June 'Starter of the Day' page by Nikki Jordan, Braunton School, Devon:

"Excellent. Thank you very much for a fabulous set of starters. I use the 'weekenders' if the daily ones are not quite what I want. Brilliant and much appreciated."

Go Maths

Learning and understanding Mathematics, at every level, requires learner engagement. Mathematics is not a spectator sport. Sometimes traditional teaching fails to actively involve students. One way to address the problem is through the use of interactive activities and this web site provides many of those. The Go Maths page is an alphabetical list of free activities designed for students in Secondary/High school.

"I am impressed that there is such an exercise online. However, I have a quick question. How do I rotate the protractor on an iPad. On MacBook it works perfectly.

[Transum: Tick the checkbox in the red sentence above the questions. That works on an iPad.]"

"This is a great resource. I used it last year during distance learning for my 4th students to practice measuring angles. It's very accurate, similar to using an actual protractor you hold in your hand, fairly easy to use and free. Thank you for providing this for free."
