A+ Click Math is an outstanding site; choose by topic or by age from this extensive collection of problems; all are multiple choice, include solutions and will display well on the interactive whiteboard.



On dynamicmaths.co.uk David Watkins has provided an extensive, easily searchable collection of Excel Mathematics worksheets. These worksheets can be customised to suit a particular class, including an option to display answers.


MathsBox – the settlers in each category make ideal starters. Choose Samples for a generous collection of free samples. Whilst this blog is on free resources, the MathsBox subscription is very low for an extensive collection of high quality resources.

JustMaths – I particularly like their Ever Wondered Why worksheets which are ideal for starters as students can just get on with them as soon as they come in.

The Subtangent resources from Duncan Keith are available from the National Stem Centre (the original site is no longer available).

A personal favourite of mine has always been the linear equation calculator.

Figure This! (from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, in cooperation with the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering, Widmeyer Communications, and the Learning First Alliance) has a variety of problems with solutions. Use the index to choose a topic.
