"helping educators make science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, come alive for learners. Each experience and resource offered through Teaching From Space is intended to be unique and accessible and to provide real-life connections to the world of STEM. "

"The standards stress not only procedural skill but also conceptual understanding, to make sure students are learning and absorbing the critical information they need to succeed at higher levels - rather than the current practices by which many students learn enough to get by on the next test, but forget it shortly thereafter, only to review again the following year."

"Brian Hayes explores this problem in the title essay of his recent book, "Group Theory in the Bedroom." Double entendres aside, the "group" in question here is a collection of mathematical actions - all the possible ways you could flip, rotate or overturn the mattress so that it still fits neatly on the bed frame."

"K-12math.info This website is a bibliographic resource which reviews and helps in the development of OER elementary and secondary school mathematics materials. Please respect the "Terms of use" statement that appears at the bottom of the sites this website links to. "

"The NASA Minority Innovation Challenges Institute (MICI) will be offering Minority Serving Institutions the opportunity to apply for a $5,000 grant to assist their school in entering the 2012 NASA Lunabotics Mining Competition. Lunabotics is a university-level competition designed to engage and retain students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)."

"The Middle School Portal 2: Math and Science Pathways (MSP2) project supports middle grades educators with high-quality, standards-based resources and promotes collaboration and knowledge-sharing among its users. Educators use MSP2 to increase content knowledge in science, mathematics, and appropriate pedagogy for youth ages 10 to 15. MSP2 employs social networking and digital tools to foster dynamic experiences that promote creation, modification, and sharing of resources, facilitate professional development, and support the integration of technology into practice."

"how to make the subject of Mathematics an interesting and relevant topic for kids. Now, Nokia's mobile maths project appears to have found a winning solution. The project, which is now in its third year of existence, has gathered evidence that overwhelmingly points to successful uptake and ownership by local learners who indicate a newly acquired enthusiasm and enjoyment of Maths. "

"With expert panels of scientists, mathematicians, and technologists, Project 2061 set out to identify what was most important for the next generation to know and be able to do in science, mathematics, and technology-what would make them science literate. "

National Science Education Standards (1996) Center for Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Education (CSMEE)"

"The 13th century empiricist Roger Bacon called mathematics "the door and key to the sciences." High-quality lesson plans, games, interactives and video from PBS"

Mathematical Future: Open online events The Math 2.0 interest group holds open and free events online. At this ongoing conference, project and community leaders break news, share resources and plan collaborations. All events are fully recorded. Most events take place in a virtual room provided by our partner LearnCentral.org.

How to develop a circle equation in algebraic form when the circle touches the horizontal x-axis and learn how algebra is used in geometry to derive the equation of a circle in algebraic form in mathematics.

"STEMNET (the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Network) creates opportunities to inspire young people in STEM. We do this by working with thousands of schools, colleges and STEM employers, to enable young people of all backgrounds and abilities to meet inspiring role models, understand real world applications of STEM subjects and experience hands-on STEM activities that motivate, inspire and bring learning and career opportunities to life."

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

"The key to solving math word problems is to have a plan or strategy, which works in any math word problem solving situation. For children having problems with math word problems, the following 12 tips are provided for helping children become good problem solvers."

These apply to aviation and aerospace as well. "Math used in professional auto racing involves every type of math learned in school today. Math is used in every aspect of a race car's design and performance. Drivers are analyzed using every known math equation possible to determine how good a driver is on the race course. Some math concepts used in auto racing"
