This slide show demonstrates some techniques that would be suitable for an experimental geometry project. The basic shapes of square and circle are explored using open source Geogebra and Dr Geo geometry software. The examples includes exercises in geometric construction, novel solutions and recursive (spiral) constructions. This is mathematics that can be done without algebra. There is some algebra on slide 18, to calculate the radius and area of a semicircle inscribed in a square.

"One of the biggest problems is that there are so many different concepts and equations in algebra and in order to be successful you have to understand the entirety of it or you will not be able to figure out which procedure to use."

Fundamentals of Mathematics is a work text that covers the traditional topics studied in a modern prealgebra course, as well as topics of estimation, elementary analytic geometry, and introductory algebra. It is intended for students who (1) have had a previous course in prealgebra, (2) wish to meet the prerequisite of a higher level course such as elementary algebra, and (3) need to review fundamental mathematical concepts and techniques. NOTE: This collection is a work in progress, and the content has not yet been marked up in CNXML. You can download PDF copies of individual chapters in from their respective modules.

"This is a rather unusual structure for organizing mathematical content, but offers an exciting opportunity for teachers across the nation and abroad to exchange ideas and discuss what they teach. This Wiki will address the underlying central concepts and propose activities that also provide rich opportunity to engage students in the Mathematical Practices. "

This site has got interactive applets that makes it great to use with IWB's. Covers most of the basic concepts. The big ideas of algebraic thinking involve representation, proportional reasoning, balance, meaning of variable, patterns and functions, inductive reasoning, and deductive reasoning. Greenes and Findell (1998):

The goal of the software is to help you the teacher author, edit and compile drill and practice e-learning assignments in math. Topics such as algebra, calculus, trigonometry and geometry can be introduced to students using this educational software. The software is geared towards K-12 particularly from grades 7 - 12. It can also be used to introduce math based topics at college and university levels. The content is created by you the teacher so you decide the difficulty level of each assignment. The purpose of the software is to help your students with calculation methodology by attempting interactive drill and practice assignments.
