SMILE resources
One starting point when considering resources that can be used independently by students is the SMILE collection. During the 1970s and 80s, the Secondary Mathematics Independent Learning Experience (SMILE) developed a wide range of mathematics activities, games and puzzles designed so students could explore and enjoy mathematics.
Some of the resources look a little dated but don’t let that put you off. The mathematics activities are interesting, rich and will definitely make students think.
