Useful Website Links
The internet is a rich resource of games, puzzles and activities to support and consolidate
learning at home. This is especially true with Mathematics!
At Finstall First School, we strive to incorporate within the teaching and learning of maths a
variety of ICT based interactive resources that help to bring maths alive! Many of these
applications also serve to place the learning in a meaningful context that the children can relate
to. As such, they are an invaluable resource, some of which can be dipped into for free at home!
With this in mind, we have listed below a handful of the more effective educational sites on
