Some general resources, as a startjjones |
| ||
Here is the beginning of a few Internet resources applicable to our interests. Most are offered without warranty, stated or implied  Illuminations, from NCTM (http://illuminations.nctm.org/) - if you haven't seen this yet, you're hereby banned from ever teaching math in FCPS again! Plus E-Zine - a part of Cambridge's (Great Britain) Millenium Mathematics Project (http://plus.maths.org/index.html) - full of news stories, ideas and activities on a wide range of mathematical subjects. MSTE - Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education, from the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (http://www.mste.uiuc.edu/) - Lots of links to other resources, some of them home-grown and hard to find elsewhere. The Math Forum, from Drexel (http://mathforum.org/) - this one is a grand old man of the Internet. Interactive Ask Dr. Math has been around from the beginning, though there's other stuff as well - newsletter, "Problem of the Week," ... PUMAS - Practical Uses of Math and Science, from NASA (http://pumas.jpl.nasa.gov/). There are 55 cross-curricular and "real world" problems, often with duplicable resources. Great stuff! Shodor Interactive, from the Shodor Education Foundation (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/) - great fully interactive and visually rich activities for math students. Problem-Based Learning, from Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (http://www2.imsa.edu/programs/pbln/) - helps on how to design problem-based ldearning projects for mathematics, with some example problems. A part of the "Problem-based learning ring" (see http://www.emck.net/eline/04_09_17.htm for a review) | |||
