"Motion Math creates movement-based learning games that give players an intuitive sense of math. Our bouncing star game - the first entry in our suite - helps learners perceive and estimate many forms of fractions."

"New research indicates that using video games as an instructional tool can be an effective way of getting children, to learn and remember new conceptual material very quickly."

S.T.E.M. Education Through Aviation Students of all ages learn science, technology, engineering and math (S.T.E.M) through designing, building, and flying their own virtual airplanes. The software, including curricula and training,

"Teaching and assessment strategies are provided for encouraging students with learning disabilities to develop a better understanding of science concepts. "

"This video was contributed as part of the Free Tech for Teachers-Next Vista for Learning 90-Second Video Contest in the spring of 2011."

"This video was a finalist for the 2011 Macworld-Next Vista for Learning 60-Second Video Contest."

"With Glean PEMDAS (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally), we present a math learning environment to help teachers extend students' understanding of order of operations concepts. Glean PEMDAS can be used to introduce Order of Operations, and is best applied to critical application of order. Critical application of Order of Operations moves beyond understanding how operations are applied to understanding what happens when operations within an expression are done in a different order. This process adds flexibility to how students think about number and operations, which is important with the introduction of algebra. "

"One of the biggest challenges in teaching science, technology, engineering, and math is capturing the students' imaginations long enough for them to see all of the possibilities that lie ahead," the company wrote on the Learn with Portals site. "Using interactive tools like the Portal series to draw them in makes physics, math, logic, spatial reasoning, probability, and problem-solving interesting, cool, and fun, which gets us one step closer to our goal-engaged, thoughtful kids!"

"FHSST Guide to Learning FHSST Volunteers We wrote a short guide to help learners get organised about their notes, studying and what to do in class because we found out that many weren't receiving any study advice. This guide has very simple ideas that can be implemented at almost any grade level. "

Yelena and Maria, the founders of the Moebius Noodles community and mathusiastic moms. We are inviting you to join ?Moebius Noodles Improv,? a parent and educator online class, during the first three weeks of November. Click "Participate" button to sign up: http://p2pu.org/en/groups/moebius-noodles-improv/content/full-description/ In our previous classes, we showed quite a few games for teaching advanced math concepts to young children in a relaxing and fun way that engages the entire family. This time around, we will teach you how to create your own games that fit your child?s unique interests and learning preferences. We will give you the confidence to improvise and create math games on the fly. The class is a cooperative, peer-to-peer gathering of adventurous grown-ups who want to enjoy advanced math with babies, toddlers and young kids. Think of it more like a get-together at your favorite coffee shop than a ?prim and proper? class.

games that discover optimal learning pathways for STEM education.' If you've got kids, check out their first game, Refraction http://games.cs.washington.edu/refraction/. It teaches multiplying fractions without kids drilling on multiplying fractions, almost like education is a side effect of game play.

In Crazy Plant Shop, students learn about plant genetics by taking on the role of a budding (pun intended) young botanist who operates a plant shop that specializes in rare and exotic breeds of plants! "

" kids keep coming back for more and more play time. We loved their statement, "Let's show our children that Math and Science can be loved." Numerosity may not have coined the term Gameful Learning, but they refer to it often and explain it as a way to engage and empower learners by placing them in the driving seat."

" Discover rock secrets through these activities. Create a rock collection as you learn about the three main types of rock, find out how to tell the different rock types apart, and see how rocks change from one type into another!"

"Tunnel Through! Contributed by: Integrated Teaching and Learning Program, College of Engineering, University of Colorado at Boulder Photo shows two men looking at metal prongs coming through the side of a mountain with a crumbling rock pile in front of them. Workers look at the TBM cutterhead after it reached daylight in April 1997, after a 2.5-year journey excavating through Yucca Mountain, NV. TBM is a tunnel boring machine. Students apply their knowledge about mountains and rocks to transportation engineering, with the task of developing a model mountain tunnel that simulates the principles behind real-life engineering design. Student teams design and create model tunnels through a clay mountain, working within design constraints and testing for success; the tunnels must meet specific design requirements and withstand a certain load.

"Engineering education in K-12 classrooms is a small but growing phenomenon that may have implications for engineering and also for the other STEM subjects--science, technology, and mathematics. Specifically, engineering education may improve student learning and achievement in science and mathematics, increase awareness of engineering and the work of engineers, boost youth interest in pursuing engineering as a career, and increase the technological literacy of all students. The teaching of STEM subjects in U.S. schools must be improved in order to retain U.S. competitiveness in the global economy and to develop a workforce with the knowledge and skills to address technical and technological issues."

"Using simple, everyday materials, marshmallows and toothpicks, your students can build marshmallow structures. They practice math skills by adding together materials used to get the total number. This product offers background information to set the stage for this science and math project - talk about plate tectonics, earthquakes and why they occur, etc. Through this project, the students will learn about earthquakes and seismic testing of buildings."

"students will complete four stations, discuss Rube Goldberg cartoons, review or learn about the six simple machines (inclined plane, wedge, pulley, lever, wheel and axle, and screw), and create their own Rube Goldberg contraptions using the simple machines."

"STEMscopes™ is a K-12 comprehensive online science curriculum program that provides hands-on inquiry activities, assessments, problem-based-learning, intervention tools, acceleration materials, and teacher support resources."
