Primary Websites Needed!!!

We would like to invite Members to submit sites for this page. For a given Website, we would like a brief description to be included (i.e. why it is a useful resource). Submissions should be sent to our secretary.


This page will be updated as new sites are recommended by our Members. Most links on this page will leave this site. I have no way of controlling the content that you may find at other sites. To my knowledge, these sites deliver only suitable educational material. If you question the standard of a site, please contact me and I will investigate and remove the link if necessary. Also, please let me know if any of these links are no longer active.

Count on

Count Us In [Macromedia Flash Reader] Developed by the ABC's Online division, this interactive site contains age-appropriate and visually-appealing games designed to help young people understand basic number concepts. There are fifteen games in total, all of which may be downloaded for use in the classroom or at home, at no charge. Some of the games include activities that allow students to design patterns using objects contained with a bookshelf or the ever-popular sheep counting game, where participants must move sheep from left to right until there are the same number of sheep in each paddock. Additionally, there is a section that explains the purpose of each game, and a help feature within each game that helps users become acclimated to the goal of each activity. The site is rounded out by a selection of teacher resources designed to complement each game on the site. Peter Recio (E.C.)
