OTRNet Newsletter 4
Hi, since most of us are entering or in the holiday mode just a quick note to let you know what's happening.
This newsletter contains:
1. Modules in progress.
2. The investigations book.
3. Expanding the web links.
4. GST.
1. Modules in progress:
Module B03: Length is now at the printers and will become available soon. Modules F05: Exponential Functions I and B06: Angle are nearing completion and will also be available early next term depending on the GST backload at all printers! Why not include a module in your year 8 or 9 programs for semester 2?
2. The Investigations book:
Printing of our Investigations I Book will be finished soon. This book contains the twenty investigations from our Online Service and can be photocopied for use in classrooms. The price of this book is $40 but subscribers to our online service need only pay $10 if they wish to secure a hardcopy of this years investigations. If you're not subscribed to this service you can still do so, gaining the advantage of being able to edit the investigations to meet your requirements or simply to put your school header on them. Further information on subscription can be found at: http://www.otrnet.com.au/mathssub.html.
3. Expanding the web links.
The links pages of our web site are growing rapidly and you can probably find whatever you need there. Thanks to people for submitting links they have found. This helps everybody. The links entry page can be accessed at http://www.otrnet.com.au/Weblinks/weblinks.html Please e-mail us if you know of any further links that could be useful for teachers.
4. GST.
As of 1st July the OTRNet web site will be fully GST ready. Hence, some prices will change. You will notice however, that despite there being no reductions in costs for printing, we have absorbed GST in some areas. Those of you who subscribed to the investigations service have already paid GST for the July to December period.
Have an enjoyable break everyone. OTRNet will be at the MAWA Conference in August and at the QAMT Conference in September.
OTRNet thanks you for your time in looking at our newsletter.
Please forward this newsletter to a friend if you think it may be useful for them.
