 * 1) Written algorithms in the primary school: Undoing the "good work?" (an article by **Doug Clarke**, raising issues about the potential dangers of prematurely teaching conventional written algorithms in early primary years' mathematics)
 * 2) A lot of ** Michael Fullan's ** work on change can be found at his own website.
 * 3) If you are interested in the leadership dimension of our discussion, have a look at Leading and Managing. Mick has an article in this edition on moral purpose from the LTLL study we mentioned during our Adelaide meeting.
 * 4) **Improving learning in mathematics-challenges and strategies** is another useful resource from Malcolm Swan, from the University of Nottingham. This book has many practical classroom approaches that engage kids in their learning. It is too big to upload to this wiki, but can be downloaded from Structure of Maths Tasks
 * 5) Links from Donna to the Learning Place:@http://www.learningplace.com.au/uploads/documents/store/doc_669_2368_ictscountonspacestrand.pdf@http://www.learningplace.com.au/uploads/documents/store/doc_669_2368_ictscountonpatternsstrand.pdf
