This Flickr group (which I just started) has "bad graphs" which I am collecting as a resource for math educators. Please apply to join the group if you are interested in adding your own resources to it. Otherwise, feel free to use the graphs and data visualizations we've collected.
A huge collection of maths videos on a wide range of topics. A super resource for older students, but even better to use to brush up on your own maths and teach the lesson yourself.

In this lesson, students learn how to measure the area of the tire footprint on a car and to find air pressure using a tire gauge. Students then find the weight of the car using their fraction multiplication skills.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
Estimate weight of a large object
Use a ruler and a tire gauge to take measurements
Collect and record data
Review square units of measure
Calculate area by multiplying fractions
Materials
Strips of poster board
Ruler
Tire gauge
How Much Does a Car Weigh? Activity Sheet
Computer with internet connection
Car
Instructional Plan
In preparation for this lesson, place a car in a safe lcation for the students to measure the tire footprints and pressure. In case of bad weather, find a covered location. Be sure to measure the tire footprint and the pressure (in PSI) of each tire ahead of time, so that you will be able check the accuracy of students' measurements. Also, check the accuracy of your calculation by comparing to it to the weight of the car listed on the sticker inside the driver's door or in the vehicle manual.
By the end of the day, data may change because air has leaked out of the tires while students were using the tire gauge. For safety, check the tires before driving home.
"This site represents a collective effort to explore teaching and learning in the 21st century and beyond. The list of teachers and student knowledge, skills, and dispositions was initially generated by teachers and administrators from Rockland County BOCES who explored a number of resources and references on 21st learning. The lists are a work in progress and will benefit greatly from the continued exploration and addition of outcomes by those who visit this site."
A well-organized collection of 76 short videos demonstrating different pedagogical methods for teaching operations with fractions. Includes cool methods such as double number line and equivalent ratios.
A good maths game where players fly a spaceship through a time tunnel, collecting fuel as you go. Set a clock to the correct time to go to the next stage. There are four different levels of time-telling ability.
