I wonder if you've seen Mathletics? This seemed to work really well for a while - and only cost aprox. AUS$80 - but it didn't quite do the trick for my daughter. I think there's alot to be said for those gaming sites like Diablo - being used in other educational areas.<br />
I'll try hot.math to add to my arsenal of sites!

Many thanks for this, Ian. I'm planning to spend some time in our long holidays (down-under) exploring all these amazing sounding sites everybody has posted. I have come across some recently which I'll also post back (eventually).

Developing a meta structure is such a gr8 idea - I just wish teachers would do this in schools. Still, I'll give it a go. Many thanks, Matt.

There is a great site some high schools use? It's called hotmath.com. You have to pay for the service, but it is great. My school actually purchased an account and had a bunch of the students use it.

Rebecca, here are a couple of ideas that might help<br />
<a href="http://www.chalkface.com/products/Maths">Chalkface</a> has a list of popular Maths resources. They all have downloadable free samples which are much loved by student teachers and other folks who don't have a budget from the taxpayer.<br />

All other posters - thanks! I'm really enjoying browsing all the amazing resources out there, and looking forward to teaching my own daughter with them when she's a little bit older (6 months today!).

I'm a big believer in engaging kids by challenging them to develop their own 'meta-structure' of the Mathematics being worked on. Conversation is essential. I've put a range of tasks up on my wiki at: maths-no-fear.wikispaces.com. Havec also started a Ning for Remote Teachers at remoteteachers.ning.com. Regards, Matt.

Hi Britt,<br />
<br />
We certainly hope to have fun now. I remember being completely cowed by maths as a child until I hit year 10 - and then, with a different teacher, I just loved the subject. However, it was too late for me to continue with it at a higher level - so I really want to give my daughter the best shot at it before it's too late - although they say it's never too late.<br />
<br />
Many thanks

Thanks so much Ellen. Am looking forward to trying this out. I showed my daughter what I was doing re my networking through Ning, and she was most intrigued. (I don't think much maths networking is going on MySpace or FaceBook, somehow!

If you go to my <a href="http://">blog</a>, there are instructions and links for all of this.
