SMARD Website
SMARD is the Secondary Mathematics Assessment and Resource Database. It
is owned and managed by the Queensland
Association of Mathematics Teachers and sponsored by Sharp Corporation.
SMARD provides an opportunity for secondary math teachers to share quality
assessment and resources. Most of the assessment and resources available from
this site have been classroom-tested, and much of it is non-traditional. You
are invited to browse through our collection, select what you want and take it
away. And you are certainly invited to contribute to the database!
