Maths Websites

Kia Ora -

Maths Week 2007 is upon us and so far it has been a lot of fun. As well as our normal maths lessons we are beginning each day by playing Survivor 2007 (a game where groups race each other to be the first to solve a series of mathematical puzzles) and we end the day playing on-line maths activities. For more information visit:
