I have been experimenting with using blogs in encouraging pupils to
learn Maths especially in using Maths websites. I have had some

more interesting to pupils. The idea is encourage pupils to practice
Maths outside school hours. Below are the links to my blogs:

exactly a common setup), but the text looks very small (not for the ads
though)!
