Abstract
To support participant teachers extend their teaching of mathematics problem solving heuristics, we explore
the use of a digital repository which comprises a video component, a discussion forum and a databank of classroom
resource. The video component consists of extracts from teachers’ classroom practices and workshops which they had
attended. The discussion forum is set up partly based on the video extracts and partly on issues raised by the
participants. The databank of classroom resources comprises mainly ‘classroom-ready’ mathematical problems. This
article looks at some considerations that went into the design of the repository, and concludes with a discussion on
related issues of building up and continuing the repository.
