Motivate provides ...

Free online maths-based resources for schools, including:

  • multi-media packs
  • cross-curricular resources and projects
Between 1999 and 2010, Motivate provided mathematically based videoconferences for schools, and the resources which accompanied the VCs can all be found in the cross-curricular resources. The live VC programme has now ceased, but we are using our experience in linking schools with expert speakers and providing collaborative investigative resources for schools to develop our multi-media packs.
