Abstract
The Internet offers a range of new opportunities for school students to learn mathematics and about mathematics. This paper analyses these opportunities, based on publicly accessible web sites that do not require direct payment by users. A typology of five different sorts of opportunities is presented, justified and exemplified: (i) interactive opportunities; (ii) reading interesting materials; (iii) reference materials; (iv) communication; and (v) problem solving. The ways in which the Internet is accessed in practice (both at home and at school) are recognised to be of significance to the prospects for successful educational usc of these resources, as are the pedagogies invoked by teachers.
