This list of teaching resources from Britain's Nuffield Foundation provides teachers with the resources they need to animate lessons in mathematics and statistics. As the site notes: "The resources are self-contained and can be used for any lessons where the context or skills are relevant." For example, selecting Level 1 (Foundation) resources navigates to a page with lessons and activities dedicated to the categories of Money Management, Spatial Techniques, and Using Data. Each category is packed with eight or nine different activities, most complete with slides, student worksheets, and teacher notes. The site also harbors more advanced material under the Level 2 (Higher) Resources and Level 3 (Advanced) Resources.
