Awesome TED Talk about a different way to teach math. Are we making things too simple? TED Talks Today's math curriculum is teaching students to expect -- and excel at -- paint-by-numbers classwork, robbing kids of a skill more important than solving problems: formulating them. At TEDxNYED, Dan Meyer shows classroom-tested math exercises that prompt students to stop and think.

A set of downloadable tools designed to help students at every step of the learning process. These include tools for getting organized, learning, demonstrating what you know, working on projects, solving personal problems, and preparing for the future.

Excellent math site for elementary and middle school. Includes a section where students can model problems.

After you try a couple of these, look up "magic pen" on youtube and prepare to be amazed!
