Meeting 6 - Resources

Meeting 6 took place at Linton Village College on 25th June (thanks Will!)
We added some links to the list (below right) and focused on data handling topics.
There are only a few links and files from this meeting but there was lots of interesting discussion. More is recorded in the minutes of the meeting.

Next year there will be 6 meetings (one each half term). The dates for these will be published shortly. The focus for the next meeting will be "KS3 Rich Tasks".

Meeting 5 - Resources

Meeting 5 took place on Tuesday 15th April 2008 at Comberton Village College.
We added websites to the list on this blog (right-hand side) and shared some file from Using & Applying Maths topics. The files are below.
On my computer, for the files to download correctly the filenames need to end in ".flp", or ".notebook". I click on the file, then select "Save As" and change the filename that the computer suggests so it looks the same as it does on the list below (eg "Buses.flp", rather than "Buses").
This seems to solve the problem!

Buses.flp
Plants2.flp
Practical Trees.flp
classify 2d shapes planets.notebook
Architecture and Mathematics.notebook
Asnat's rabbits.notebook
The Maths Teacher's Cross.notebook

Meeting 3

Here are the resources from Meeting 3, held at City of Ely on Wednesday 19th September 2007.
As always, these are resources that were presented at a meeting, so they may not make sense without the input from the people who created them.
If the files don't download correctly, then do try again and put the file extension after the name of the file when you save them (eg .notebook or .flp etc)
