Numberphile - Videos about Numbers and Stuff - 0 views

  •  
    Teachthought describes this as "While the site is simple a crudely interactive graphic with links to videos, it has, in one fell swoop, creatively curated some of the most compelling and engaging "problems" in mathematics. From Benford's Law to French Numbers, to whether or not zero is an even number, it frames the content area of math-which is often riddled with rote practice of very traditional arithmetic and formulas-in a problem-based learning kind of approach. Fantastic resource for bell ringers, test questions, math project-based learning ideas, or as a model for students to curate their own curiosities about the incredible-and poorly marketed-world of mathematics."

Mathigon Course Library - 0 views

shared by Susie Highley on 04 Sep 16 - No Cached
  •  
    "Mathigon provides a series of free, interactive, online courses that are designed to complement 6th grade through college level mathematics instruction. The website was founded by Philipp Legner, who studied mathematics at the University of Cambridge and mathematics education at the London School of Economics. Legner, who currently works at Google, wanted to design a website that enabled learners to examine mathematics concepts by actively engaging in problem solving. Each course explains key concepts and skills through a series of short explanations, helpful visualizations, problem sets, and quizzes. Learners receive feedback as they work their way through each course. Visitors to this website can find courses by browsing through the course library, which sorts available courses by grade level (6-9; 10-12; College, Fun and More) and by topic (Geometry; Functions and Equations; Probability and Statistics; Calculus and Mechanics; Applied Mathematics, etc.)."

Richie's Picks - 0 views

  •  
    I've been on Richie's email list for years (and I've even met him), but never thought to look for a single  place that holds all of his reviews.  He writes some of the most complete reviews I know of, always connecting the books to other events, songs, or materials. I'm often jealous when he writes reviews for great books months before they are released.
