WONDERFUL examples of how to restructure math lessons

interesting tool for students to create data and visualize the results

this is the old program, but lots of the resources are still pertinent

a beautiful piece on transformations and translations

Math Tools is a project of The Math Forum @ Drexel, funded in part by the National Science Foundation. The goal is to create a community digital library that supports the use and development of software for mathematics education. We began work in September of 2002 and through the help of many people there is already an active and rich resource center.\n\nYou are the key. The point is to enable users to help each other use technology effectively in the math classroom. By sharing our experiences, activities, comments, and needs, we can help each other find tools that are known to work well and learn how to use them and improve them. Teachers, students, researchers, publishers, and software developers are all working together in Math Tools

"WisWeb is Freudenthal Institute's website for secondary math education (students of 12 to 18 years old). The main focus of the site is applets; small computer programs that run over the internet." Click on Applets.

Learning and remembering cannot occur simultaneously

Very technical -- but interesting research "It is well established that children, adults, and nonhuman animals share a basic ability to perceive and compare nonsymbolic quantities of items, commonly referred to as "numerosity." Symbolic numerical representations build on these basic abilities to enable human children and adults to use precise number words, symbols, and linguistic quantifiers"

Brain Compatible Classroom

"three principles that are emerging from cross-disciplinary work: learning is computational, learning is social, and learning is supported by brain circuits linking perception and action that connect people to one another.

The "fairness" and "measures of central tendency" example I wanted start on page 34. Hooray! I found it!!!
