Inspirations

The mathematics curriculum is often dry and the focus for teaching it is more on how to do mathematics rather than exploring the mystery of pattern, space and motion to cultivate curiosity and wonder. The following links are to various sites/pages which add some much needed spice into what, for most of us is a limited scope, of what mathematics involves.

MathigonA fantastic website created by Philipp Legner. A totally refreshing approach to discovering, understanding and learning mathematics for all ages. There's so much here to explore. Highly recommended.

Khan AcademyAnother great site for learning mathematics. A combination of video and written tutorials for free. It is based on the American curriculum and so differs in its weighting of requirements. It has an appealing game-like structure.

Paper PolyhedraLove this site. Fun making some great 3D geometrical shapes. It provides the nets to build them but one could challenge themselves further with a compass and a straight edge to produce them by yourself.
