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,

"a physicist has thrown her hat into the ring, arguing that it is the world's first known protractor"

"Aviation High School, part of Highline Public Schools but open to students across the region, has been in temporary locations since it opened in 2004. The new facility is being built in collaboration with The Museum of Flight. In addition, Aviation High School was the first college preparatory aviation-themed high school in the nation and is dedicated to becoming the premier school of choice for science, technology, engineering and math learning in the region."

"Team Note-Taker took first place in the Software Design category with a technology inspired by team member Hayden who is legally blind and had trouble keeping up with note-taking in black-board intensive math classes. The team's solution helps low-vision students take efficient and effective notes with the help of a custom-designed, portable camera, a touch-screen Tablet PC and Microsoft OneNote. The solution allows students to view live video and simultaneously take typed or hand-written notes on a split-screen interface."

"He believes that tens of thousands of visitors will flock to his Museum of Mathematics, to open in Manhattan next year, and leave invigorated about geometry, numbers and many more mathematical notions. "

lots of great resources here

Concept of Whole Numbers in Arithmetic and know the purpose of whole numbers and understand how to use them in mathematics and also know the method of representing the whole numbers in mathematical language.

" A community library of technology tools, lessons, activities, and support materials for teaching and learning mathematics. "

"The site includes really well done lessons, activities, practice pages (online), study aids, glossary, and word problems. Algebra Lab is like a free, living textbook. It has enough substance to help students work their way through algebra, while understanding the connections to how that algebra is used in a practical sense."

"Flipped to the MAX! What if the application (the homework) was done in class with teacher guidance and the lecture for the next day's lesson/application was given for homework? This is the basic concept of the flipped classroom. More time can be given for assistance if warranted or extensions if the concept is demonstrated as mastered."

"As students are working through their various build sessions, we pause ocasionally to talk about the variables they are changing (independent), the expected outcome (dependent variable), and the records and/or graphs they are keeping on the flight times of their rocket (data collection and repeatable expeirmentation)."

"Take a Spin on the Centrifuge (MIT Engineering K-12 Video Pilot) This video uses Man-Vehicle Lab's human centrifuge to discuss centripetal force and countermeasures for astronaut bone and muscle loss in space. It shows the mathematics required to calculate centripetal force, and performs an experiment on the centrifuge with an "astronaut.""
