Forgotten Posts of 2011

All over the blogosphere bloggers are posting about their top posts of the year – myself included!

So I thought I’d take a look at my WordPress statistics for 2011 and see which posts are nearer the bottom of the list in terms of page views!
I present some posts I think worthy of attention; I have updated some for clarity.

Thinkfinity – including a great resource for introducing probability.

Storybird – write stories about Mathematics? Why not?!

Words with WolframAlpha - WolframAlpha is so good at Mathematics – did you know it’s good with vocabulary as well?

Triptico – some great resources for the interactive whiteboard

Mudd Math Fun Facts - a searchable collection of Mathematics fun facts from Harvey Mudd College Math Department

Videos – the list of sources of  videos has been added to since this post was first written

To complete the collection – some posts of a lighter nature – check the counting chimp,  watch a bubble sort – danced, or listen to some songs!

Top 20 – 2011

It’s that time of the year again – review time.

Which posts have attracted the most readers?

Using Scoop.it! I present the 20 most popular posts of 2011.

MathsFlash & Starters

MathsFlash a website by a London Maths teacher offers a collection of short activities linking Mathematics to current issues and real world problems, activities are added daily. These could be displayed on the interactive whiteboard and would make excellent lesson starters as well as activities for the teaching of various topics. For example your students could try a ratio problem on mobile phone sales or calculate some percentages using X factor viewing figures,

It is possible to search by category, activity type, topic and difficulty level.

This site has been added to the Mathematics Starters collection.
