Algebra

  • National Security Agency Algebra Units
    Well developed units along a variety of topics. Each unit was developed by teachers at a summer institute and is linked to national standards.
  • BugScope Project
    The Bugscope project is an educational outreach program for K-12 classrooms. The project provides a resource to classrooms so that they may remotely operate a scanning electron microscope to image "bugs" at high magnification. The microscope is remotely controlled in real time from a classroom computer over the Internet using a web browser.

General Mathematics

  • Explore Learning - Math Gizmos
    This site features wonderful "gizmos" to run simulations about mathematical topics. It provides wonderful tools to explore mathematical topics, thus providing an avenue for students to develop questions and check their understanding. Each "gizmo" also contains a helpful lesson plan.
  • NOVA on-line Archives - Math
    Math-related NOVA on-line sites.
  • Mathematics Experiences through Image Processing
    Free software and a link to some activities for using image processing in mathematics
  • Problems with a Point
    Problem solving is the heart of mathematical learning. This site complements existing curricula by providing a resource for teachers who use, or are only beginning to use, a problem-centered approach.
  • Tips for Math Students in PBI
    Martha Smith's page with links and ideas.
  • Cut the Knot (Posted by PBI student)
    Collection of math activities. Some cool java apps for interacting. Webmaster writes a regular article in one of the journals. Fourth time that I found it linked from math resources page in lesson searches.
  • Cornell Math and Science Gateway
    This Gateway provides links to resources in mathematics for educators and students in grades 9-12, although teachers of other levels may find these materials helpful.
  • Practical Applications of Math and Science
    PUMAS (poo' · mas) -- is a collection of one-page examples of how math and science topics taught in K-12 classes can be used in interesting settings, including everyday life. The examples are written primarily by scientists and engineers, and are available to teachers, students, and other interested parties via the PUMAS Web Site. Our goal is to capture, for the benefit of pre-college education, the flavor of the vast experience that working scientists have with interesting and practical uses of math and science...
  • New York Times Daily Lesson Plans
    This site is a good source for project ideas
  • Numbers in Search of a Problem
    The Internet offers a rich collection of data sources. In the hands of a creative teacher (or student) these numbers can be crafted into meaningful, real life mathematics problems.
  • Real World Mathematics
  • What's Special About This Number?

Geometry

  • Cancer and Mathematics
    An internet adventure into cancer, pattern recognition, image analysis and geometry.
  • National Security Agency Geometry Units
    Well developed units along a variety of topics. Each unit was developed by teachers at a summer institute and is linked to national standards.
  • Pathfinder Science
    This site provides research projects where students from around the world use common protocols to collect data which is then pooled and sent back to the students.
