or go to the Dictionary of Units for conversions of lengths, speeds, weights, volumes and many other quantities
or try NRICH for a wide variety of materials (puzzles, articles and so on) concerning mathematics
and there is GCSE Answers which offers much more than its name implies.
Mr Barton Maths.com is a new site with lots of mathematical resources and activities for teachers, pupils and parents alike.

Professional association for mathematics in the UK: The Association of Teachers of Mathematics (ATM)
or the Mathematical Association (MA)
and the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA)

NOTE: There are many schools that have developed their own websites which can provide useful information.

Professional associations for mathematics in the USA are Mathematical Association of America (MAA)

and also from Swarthmore in Philadelphia, which also provides some good material.

Another good starting point (in the USA) for a search is Mathematical Information
