Mathematics Instructional Learning Community
The Mathematics Instructional Learning Community (MILC) Project is an alliance among Fayette County Public Schools (FCPS) math teachers focusing on:
  • Increasing the pedagogy and content knowledge of math teachers;
  • Integrating technology tools into everyday math instruction; and
  • Developing, implementing and revising units of study.

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)
