Geometers Sketchpad Users – here is a great site for pre-made sketches to use in all grade 11. http://www.nearnorthschools.ca/it/PRISMNEO/Grade11/index.asp
The recent GVMA conference, hosted at U of W, was very worthwhile.
Of particular interest to teachers of grade 7 – 10 would be the GSP presentation by Chris Wadley. http://www.gvma.ca/
The OAME (Ontario Association of Mathematics Educators) posts up-to-date information and teacher support links regarding the revised grade 11 courses, the new grade 12 courses to be implemented in 2007, revised pathways for 2006/2007, TIPS4RM and TIPS ELL, and LMS. Check it out often! www.oame.on.ca.
For teachers of secondary workplace mathematics, here is a great website which offers many career-focused tasks for students of mathematics. Includes skills in literacy and document use, such as interpreting bills, business invoices, insurance forms, etc. (promoted and maintained by the BC skills improvement council)

If you haven’t been to the NCTM website lately it is worth a regular browse. The Illuminations and Student Notes sections are great! There are also creative ideas for assessment (Partner Quizzes) and grading posted.
Some access requires membership to NCTM – consider joining as a department or a school and you will benefit from receiving their monthly newsletter.

The LMS (Leading Math Success) website is a must read! Get GSP support, ideas for engaging boys in the class, and TIPS 4RM course outlines for grade 7 and 8, 9 and 10 Applied, and all grade 11 courses. http://www.curriculum.org/lms/
A good site for virtual manipulatives and activities is: http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/ (National Library of Virtual Manipulatives – it is still free to use at this time)

TI produces weekly lists of activities linked with the TV show NUMBERS. The activities are useful for many grades as they range in complexity. You can buy a DVD of past seasons and the TI website also lists activities for last year’s episodes. Here is the link to use: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/numb3rs/
A very useful site for mathematics teachers and students. Great lessons for all levels of Algebra. (equations, ratio and proportion, matrices, and more!) Also offers homework assistance, on-line tutoring and clarification of concepts. http://www.purplemath.com/
