Variation Theory | https://variationtheory.com/ | Maths | Free | This website is based on the idea of intelligent practice. Under the heading “categories” are a list of topics for which there are maths exercises. The idea of intelligent practice is to have minimal variation between successive questions which allows students to make predictions and explain what happens from question to question. They are intrinsically tied up with Craig Barton’s “reflect, expect, check, explain” approach. It is more ideally suited to classes but tutors may also benefit from this fantastic approach to maths exercises. More info on the website.
