Comprehensive mathematics resource for questions on content, links to educational resources, etc... If you click on Math Help on the top tab, and then "Ask Dr. Math," you can search previously asked questions regarding mathematics and can get explanations for a wide range of mathematical procedures, concepts, and applications.

This website contains links to many different aspects of mathematics. This includes links to women in mathematics, the history of mathematics, formulas, and more. One interesting link, Math in Daily Life, is interesting because it gives some real-life scenarios of how math can be used in the world around us. This information is a great resource for teachers, and many of it can also be explored by students. Students are especially sure to love the games and puzzles section of this website, which introduces a number of games to be played to help students master difficult math concepts.

Searchable database for literature related to mathematics and science curriculum.

Contains descriptions of several books which may be used for mathematics lessons. Includes books for middle school and high school level classrooms.

Newly revised WMAS in mathematics broken down by grade level. May be helpful for lesson plans and concept maps.

NCTM links to free lesson plans and interactive online activities for K-12 mathematics

Resources for teaching science. Connections to mathematics.

This mathematics forum website is a great resource for possible activity ideas to use with your students. The main page of this website includes six main link sections: numbers and operations, algebra, data analysis and probability, measurement, geometry, and other resources. Each of these subcategories has an array of possible topic areas and activities to go along with these areas. These activities are aligned with the NCTM standards and often include the use of manipulatives.

This website is a great resource for brain teasers, questions of the day, or trivia related to mathematics. This can be a great resource for teachers to find a "hook" to begin their math lessons. This site also contains many outside links to additional resources and games to play with students. Although these links seem to focus mainly on mathematical concepts, many also relate to a variety of other subject areas and make learning fun.

This is an interesting sight which was created by a gifted teacher's mathematics class. The students put together short video explanations of different math concepts, much like those which were are currently creating in class. These videos are interesting to watch, and they show the students line of thinking and reasoning behind different mathematic concepts. They can also provide insight as you think about how to explain these concepts to your students in a way that is relatable and understandable. The video topics include geometry, multiplication, decimals, divisions, and fractions amongst others.

Family Math is designed not only to help kids become more comfortable with mathematics, but to help parents overcome their own math-phobias and learn how to help their children. There are FAQs about the program, resources, etc. There's also another tab for "doing math together."

Teaching resources for mathematics teachers, a question and answer service for teachers and students, careers of mathematicians, a problem of the month and more.

This website was found in our textbook, Learning Mathematics in Elementary and Middle Schools, as a resource that can be used in the classroom to reinforce fractions in a fun and unique way!

Online manipulative activities sorted by NCTM Content Standard and grade band.

We used the National Library of Virtual Manipulative quite a bit in Math 120. This is a great resource for use with a Smart Board, in a computer lab, or with a few computers as a center. The activities are sorted by age group and Content Standard.

NCTM serves math teachers, math educators, and administrators by providing math resources and professional development opportunities. Working for more and better math for all students.

This URL is from About.com, so it does not have lesson plans or activities. However, my LEA e-mail today mentioned the need for young girls to be aware of female professions in the STEM program, particularly in Math. So, I thought why not include this website. Students can do a little research of their own on Hypatia of Alexandria, Mary Fairfax Somerville, and Alicia Stott to name a few. Under each of the ten females is a little background information. Underneath that is a link that takes you to more in-depth information and even other websites!!

This site was created by the National Center for Education Statistics. While it is aimed towards children, teachers can use this website to spark ideas when teaching probability and graphing in mathematics. By clicking on 'Graph' on the top toolbar, students can enter data and decide to create pie charts, bar graphs, line graphs, and more. The site provides math teasers, quizzes, and even allows children to explore probability through a game using dice.The dice game allows you to see how increasing or decreasing the number of dice rolls affects an outcome. This would be a great site to have students access sometime throughout the year when focusing on graphing and probability!

Schooltimegames is a website not just for mathematics, but includes social studies, language arts, science, logics, and so much more. The site has learning activities for students of all ages, and a variety of games and puzzles that connect to the various subject areas in our curriculums.

This site offers an array of resources related to teaching mathematics. It includes links for teachers, students, and parents. While some of the information needs to be purchased, there are also free links. For instance, the website offers flashcards to use to assist students. The website also contains games, such as crosswords, to help familiarize students with key vocabulary.

This website offers a variety of interactive, online activities for students to participate in relating specifically to mathematics and reading. The website also includes flashcards, web books, and comics. On the bottom of the main homepage on the left side, there are also specific links for teachers, and teachers can search the game finder for the perfect game for the subject areas they are focusing in on.
