RANDOM MATHS PROBLEMS

Fairbanks Country Day Preschool through HighSchool, San Diego, California, provides a free maths resource on the web called Course Server. Our thanks to Randall Rose who wrote to us: If a student or teacher goes to the Course Server web site and places tick marks next to the problem types he or she wants, the Course Server program will then display a web page containing maths problems of each of these types, along with a separate web page containing the solutions to these problems. We have a very large variety of maths problems: there are several thousand problem types to choose from, and whenever a particular problem type is selected, Course Server will randomly change the numbers and circumstances used in the problem so that the solution will be different each time.

KEY STAGE 3 MATHS

9th May 2005: Our thanks to Kaiya Williams who has sent in details of this amazing resource ..... Year 7 workbooks and tests, Year 8 workbooks and tests, Year 9 workbooks and tests ..... See the "Practice Book pages" for the basic material. Note their disclaimer: "The material is made available through the CIMT for downloading and dissemination for NON-PROFIT MAKING PURPOSES ONLY."

Also includes teacher support resources but certain aspects of these require "passwords" [their site says "passwords are not normally available to individuals who are not part of an educational institution"].

Homeschooling parents should be able to make use of a *huge* percentage of this resource however - together with their Year 1 to 6 resources (see Maths Key Stage 1 for this and other free Maths resources available) it provides a unique guide to all aspects of learning Maths. This free resource has been created through a collaboration between the Peto Institute in Budapest, Hungary, and the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching at Exeter University, England.
