Good and free websites:

www.brain-cells.co.uk

Loads of free resources for teachers - super stuff. The bloke who runs it is a real teacher and everything, so actually knows what he's talking about.

www.mrbartonmaths.com

A fantastic site for both games and resources.

www.mathsisfun.net

The games on here are pretty good - Rush Hour is nice.

www.mathplayground.com

The site isn't all good, but these logic puzzles are quite nice!

www.supermathsworld.com

Lots of games (all along the same lines) but for loads of different topics. Unfortunately you have to pay membership now, but some games are free still.

www.counton.org

This has some slightly odd games but also loads of maths type puzzles - always worth a look.

I really like the "Genius Boxing" on this one, but lots of other games too.

www.mathsnet.net

Not easy to navigate but some good stuff on here (lots of animations of 3D shapes and stuff that's difficult to draw on the board). The featured game "Siji" is very addictive too!

www.iknowthat.com

Lots of games on here, the best being the "Math Movies" with Leon the Chameleon and the "Fishy Fractions".

I am always happy to hear constructive criticism, as I am subject to deconstructive criticism via Ofsted on a regular basis – although a bit more wouldn’t hurt I suppose.
