Set Up a Free Math Program For Your Class
Create interactive assignments for your students
- with hints and video lessons. Proven to deliver results.
TenMarks is mapped to state and common core curriculum standards for grades 2 - high school.

We have developed a six day Scratch unit for 7th and 8th grade math. One class period of each six-day cycle is devoted to Scratch, effectively spreading the lessons out over a six week period. During their course of study, students learn simple terminology, are introduced to the principles of object-oriented programming, and create original animations and games that are uploaded to our Scratch Web Gallery.

A great looking scientific calculator. Have the students add this page to their links bar. I wonder if it works on the ipad. Hmmm..

" Use this calculator for graphing, for calculating, for sharing, for creating. Look on the right for help or inspiration. "

ASSISTments is a free web-based platform that allows teachers to write individual ASSISTments (composed of questions and associated hints, solutions, web-based videos, etc.). The word "ASSISTment" blends tutoring "assistance" with "assessment" reporting to teachers. It supports all subjects (i.e.,Math, English etc.) and due to federal grants, has a huge repository of math content. ASSISTments is not just a math tutoring system. Its an "eco-system" of researcher, schools, parents, funders, and state partners, working together to help students. Each of the partners get something out of it, and each contributes something.

"Wolfram Alpha is on a mission to develop an "app for every course." The company launched its first three subject-specific iPhone apps on Tuesday, and all three - Algebra, Calculus, and Music Theory - look to be promising educational tools."

"We tell the story of chemistry."
The Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) fosters an understanding of chemistry's impact on society.

An independent, nonprofit organization, CHF maintains major collections of instruments, fine art, photographs, papers, and books. We host conferences and lectures, support research, offer fellowships, and produce educational materials. Our museum and public programs explore subjects ranging from alchemy to nanotechnology.

"At Mathalicious, we believe that math isn't something to learn, but a tool to learn about other things. Our mission is to help transform the way math is taught by providing you with the best, most meaningful and most relevant math content available. Our lessons are aligned to traditional state standards but, unlike most content, emphasize conceptual understanding through engaging real-world applications."
