The trust works to advance education for the public benefit through (a) improving the design and development of educational materials and processes in STEM education (b) building a design community directed to the development of such materials (c) increasing the impact on education practice by funding grants and prizes including the annual ISDDE Prize for Excellence in Educational Design.
As part of its work, the Trust hosts several websites disseminating free resources for mathematical education, including materials from the Shell Centre for Mathematical Education. If you have come to this page by accident, you may be looking for one of the following:
