'Lessons in a box' is a Key Stage 2 numeracy website. Through a series of carefully planned lessons in the form of videos, worksheets, games, quizzes and assessments pupils are given the opportunity to learn key skills. The site has many strengths including its lesson vidoes, which demonstrate in a methodical way a particular teaching objective. The Beat the teacher round is sure to prove a favourite amongst pupils as its interactive approach adds another dimension to learning. The site is fairly easy to navigate with an introduction at the top of the screen on the home page. The site lacks a 'help' facility, which is invaluable to some teachers lacking ICT confidence. It also uses a rather small, white font making the screen look too busy in places. On the whole it is a well thought out concept, and provides stimulating learning for its users.
