Primary
Classroom Activities
Many of these resources were developed under the auspices of MAPE (and some through a government grant) so it is right that they should remain open access. However, some resources were developed through Naace and are now acessible to members only. Members can access the resources by entering their Naace username and password when prompted. Non-members who wish to continue to have access to these resources (and all forthcoming new ones) may go to the Naace home page where they will find a 'Join Naace' link.
Downloadable items may be used free of charge for educational purposes provided that the original source is acknowledged.
