These IWB files for the Improving Learning in Mathematics Resources were created with the help of many teacher training students, so that others would have ready-made files. You will probably want to change them, but at least all the diagrams etc are in an IWB format.
Note that the IWB files are available for ActivInspire (Flipchart files). All other files are included within the IWB files.
You might like to download Malcolm Swan’s booklet that was originally included with the resources.
