Part of the Millennium Mathematics Project, Motivate has been using video-conferencing to link up primary and secondary maths classes with professional mathematicians to raise aspirations, push standards and raise confidence along with presentation skills. Now it has a new website and if you want to start video-conferencing for maths it’s a good place to start. More important, even if you never have video-conferencing facilities, the website has an archive outlining many of the maths projects that have been undertaken since it started in 1999.
