MEP Material. Centre for Innovation in mathematics Teaching
A huge bank of written materials. Books on line. I’m not claiming that there is anything earth shattering here, but it does give some useful back ground ideas to each topic, along with some possible teaching resources. Each topic includes:
Outline lesson plans, Teaching notes, activities, detailed lesson plans, Overhead Slides, Mental tests, Practice Book Answers, Revision test, Extra Exercises. All down loadable for wide range of topics.
Year 7 material
This material is aimed at able year 7 students in the UK. However, I think it would be suitable for average or below average students in year 9 in NZ

Year 10 and 11 material
These years are covered in a different format. Students in these years in the UK are preparing for GCSE. There are three different formats for the material here: They are Pupil Text book, Units (1-6) Practice Book (standard/academic) and Units (1-6) Practice Book Express/ special. Each book covers virtually the same topics but in later topics the standard/academic books misses out some topics.
Topics covered
Units (1-6)
Indices
Formulae
Angle Geometry
Trigonometry
Probability
Number System
Units (7- 12)
Mensuration
Data handling
Data Analysis
Equations
Fraction/Percentages
Number Patterns
Units (13- 19)
Graphs
Loci/Transformations
Variation
Inequalities
Using Graphs
3-D Geometry
Vectors

Some other material is only available with a pass word. However, teachers can apply for a password and I don’t think it will cost anything.
