There are no words to express how much I love Don Steward and his amazing resources on his Median Blog. They allow for purposeful practise, to enable students to gain fluency in key skills. But they also have more than a sprinkling of richness, that leads students merrily along the path towards hypotheses and generalisations. Amazing.
