October 30, 1999

Here's an update of our original Math Resources posting which can be
found at http://www.egroups.com/group/innovative-teaching/46.html? Of
course, if you know of other worthwhile Math sites, please pass on your
recommendations and we'll share the wealth. I'm sending this out Friday
night from Boston, as I will be presenting all day tomorrow and I want
to make sure it is out on time. Enjoy!

A+ MATH - http://www.aplusmath.com/
A Math site for kids: game room, homework helper, flashcards, advanced
problems; nice lay-out, easy to use

ABSURD MATH - http://www.hrmvideo.com/abmath/
When the world wide web was created, doorways were opened to other
dimensions. Net surfers run the risk of being sucked into one of those
dimensions. Excellent problem solving simulation - links to other
similar software

APPETIZERS AND LESSONS FOR MATHEMATICS AND REASON -
http://www.cam.org/~aselby/lesson.html
Exactly what the name says: excellent for developing your own lessons or
tutoring and enrichment beyond classroom instruction

COOL MATH - http://www.coolmath.com/
Designed by a Math enthusiast named "Karen", this site has loads of
lessons, activities, links and resources to enrich your instruction

ESCAPE FROM KNAB - http://www.escapefromknab.com/
This simulation finds your students on the planet Knab. By making the
right financial decisions they can find their way back to Earth - a
different game every time you play

EVERYDAY MATHEMATICS -
http://sun.kent.wednet.edu/curriculum/math/edmath/
Everyday Mathematics was developed through the University of Chicago by
studying how young children learn and interviewing hundreds of students
and teachers; separate sections for teachers (good resources here),
students (including work samples) and parents

THE FRACTORY - http://tqd.advanced.org/3288/fractals.html
This page will help you learn about fractals: what they are and how to
design them, but it will also let you discover more on your own; play a
part in the interactive fractal creation center, designing and
displaying fractals you have invented - too cool!

FSU MATH - http://euclid.math.fsu.edu/Science/Education.html
Basic links on a variety of Math topics - nice assortment, worth your
time and consideration

HOW FAR IS IT? - http://www.indo.com/distance/
Calculates the distance between two places, you input the locations -
from the U.S. Census Bureau

K-12 CONNECTION - http://www.k12connection.org/
More than 500 resources for K-12 Math teachers - set aside some time to
sift through the wealth of material!

KIDSMATH - http://www.kidsmath.com/
Math activities for elementary and intermediate students; JAVA makes it
slower loading

KIDS' WEB MATH - http://www.npac.syr.edu/textbook/kidsweb/math.html
Links to fractals, geometry, math history, problem solving, puzzles and
number theory

MATH COUNTS PROBLEM SOLVING - http://206.152.229.6/
FLIP Contest, Problem of the Week and Archive, Warm-Ups and Workouts,
Problem Solving Strategies, Extended Activities, Algebraic Reasoning,
Permissible Calculators - lots of resources

MATH IN DAILY LIFE - http://www.learner.org/exhibits/dailymath/
Another great site from the Annenberg Project, this one on everyday Math
applications - upper Elementary and Middle School

MATH IN THE MOVIES - http://world.std.com/~reinhold/mathmovies.html
Uses of Math applications portrayed in major motion pictures - too cool!

MATH TEACHER LINK - http://mtl.math.uiuc.edu/
Out of the University of Illinois, this site is designed to deliver
professional development opportunities and classroom resources to
teachers of mathematics, statistics, and related subjects at the high
school and lower division college levels

MATHEMATICS WITH ALICE - http://library.advanced.org/10977/start.html
Takes the Lewis Carroll character and presents topics in Math in warm
and entertaining ways; made by students for students

MATHMANIA - http://csr.uvic.ca/~mmania/
Eclectic collection of all kinds of math activities at higher levels of
thinking; great for Middle and High School

MEDIEVAL ADVENTURE IN PROBLEM SOLVING -
http://tqjunior.advanced.org/4471/
ThinkQuest Junior entry for 4th graders; no elaborate bells and whistles
here, just honest to goodness creative math applications

MEGA MATH - http://www.c3.lanl.gov/mega-math/
Lessons that cover intriguing mathematical concepts in ways that even
elementary children can internalize them - really neat approaches with
complete lesson plans

MONSTER MATH -
http://www.lifelong.com/CarnivalWorld/MonsterMath/MonMathHP.html
Designed to introduce and review a variety of basic math concepts such
as counting, addition and multiplication. These activities allow the
players to be problem solvers

NEW MATH TEACHERS -
http://people.clarityconnect.com/webpages/terri/terri.html
Terri Santi's page for teachers just starting out in Mathematics
instruction - lots of hints and tips

PROBABILITY EXPERIMENTS FOR KIDS -
http://www.gahanna.k12.oh.us/schools/bl/knapp/index.html
Fourth graders designed this handy page of probability activities

QUOTATION SERVER - http://math.furman.edu/~mwoodard/mqs/mquot.shtml
Want to have timeless sayings and pearls of wisdom at your disposal as
you teach Math? This site can offer many witty and quotable quotes to
share with students

TEACHERS ACADEMY FOR TEACHING MATH AND SCIENCE - http://www.tams.org/
Links and activities from the actual academy; discussion board too

UNSOLVED MATHEMATICS PROBLEMS - http://www.mathsoft.com/asolve/
Extensive collection of links which explore mathematical problems which
have yet to be resolved; great resource for secondary Mathematics

WEBMATH - http://www.webmath.com/
An internet based math problem solver, equipped with an online
"math-engine" that can instantly provide you with an answer to the
particular math problem you may be working on

WOMEN MATHEMATICIANS - http://www.agnesscott.edu/lriddle/women/women.htm

Presented by Agnes Scott College in Atlanta, biographies can be accessed
either alphabetically or chronologically

WORD PROBLEMS - http://www.stfx.ca/special/mathproblems/welcome.html
Actual word problems online for grades Five through Twelve (links to
answers)

WORKSHEET GENERATOR -
http://www.caverns.com/~mkt/Mathematics/worksheetGenerator.html
Type in your specs and pump out a pre-algebra or algebra worksheet ready
to use

Next Week's Topic: "Colonial America"

Please send in URL's of high quality sites which may be
of interest to our readers to mrmck@...!
Also, I'm always looking for new topic ideas and input!
