Combine use with smartkiddies and there are so many resources, activities and ideas. Students learn mathematics by **DOING** mathematics, and not by watching someone else do mathematics. In recent years there has been an explosion in the number of high quality digital resources available from the Net and elsewhere that allow students to investigate, explore or [|consolidate] the topics they are learning in their maths class. 9.
