This site features a math category, math concepts explained informed by the principle that "math is no about equations than poetry is about spelling .. .[but exist] to convey an idea."

Flipping a classroom is not a teaching technique, it is more in line with a philosophy or way of teaching. It involves using technology as a tool, not the main focus, for helping students increase their understanding of science or math concepts.

"All the time you hear what is the use of learning math? Auto racing is full of math applications and concepts. For a race team to be successful they must understand math. "

University of Delaware researchers find: "Even [when their children are] as young as 22 months, American parents draw boys' attention to numerical concepts far more often than girls'. Indeed, parents speak to boys about number concepts twice as often as they do girls. For cardinal-numbers speech, in which a number is attached to an obvious noun reference - "Here are five raisins" or "Look at those two beds" - the difference was even larger. Mothers were three times more likely to use such formulations while talking to boys."

I know that this was already shared with the math group, but this is to the main site. Not just the PDF file. These are videos to help put reasons behind why we would learn math concepts and what are they related to. I think they can also serve as a good model for student math projects.

Abstract only online, full text requires subscription or purchase. Results of one study of 10-12 year old children in eight classrooms in three Australian primary schools leads researchers to suggest "educators should carefully consider the application and appropriateness of games before employing them as a vehicle for introducing mathematical concepts. "

Can your kids do not have to struggle with Math if he or she learns the fundamental concepts of Math? Addition, subtraction, multiplication, percentage and division are about recurring patterns. When your children study to spot the pattern, he or she will learn to love Math.

The Common Core State Standards focus on core conceptual understandings and procedures starting in the early grades, thus enabling teachers to take the time needed to teach core concepts and procedures well-and to give students the opportunity to master them.

Digital Media follows the old adage "A picture is worth a thousand words!" when it comes to science and math. The use of visuals is ideal for helping students construct background knowledge for developing a better understanding of science and math concepts.

Math videos to help explain skills/concepts. Tends to be very skill based, but offers multiple takes on the same skill so if a students doesn't get it from one person the next might be a better fit, short videos makes it plausible that a student might use, GREAT integration of vocabulary. Well worth incorporating into classroom practice to help students understand how to use formulas or manipulate equations. Also they are GREAT models if you want kids to create their own.

"In this article we introduce the free educational mathematics software GeoGebra. This open source tool extends concepts of dynamic geometry to the fields of algebra and calculus. You can use GeoGebra both as a teaching tool and to create interactive web pages for students from middle school up to college level. Specifically designed for educational purposes, GeoGebra can help you to foster experimental, problem-oriented and discovery learning of mathematics. We will illustrate the basic ideas of the software and some of its versatile possibilities by discussing several interactive examples."

"This website is designed for educators who wish to extend the concepts of the math curriculum beyond the pages of the text. Google Earth is the dynamic tool that will be used to accomplish this."

Students in grades 3-5 use various fraction concepts to guide the main character home.

Your child is having trouble grasping the math concepts being taught in the classroom. Instead of asking the right questions, he/she remains silent and struggles every night to complete the assignments. Help with math homework is definitely needed. But, scheduling problems, finances, and finding the right teacher are of great concern. So, you need to know the 5 benefits of qualified online help with math homework.

Does your child need help with math homework,? He/she is a great student, and really wants to learn, but often material presented is confusing, especially when it comes to learning math. A different teaching style, and help with math homework, would certainly put your child back on the road to academic success again. You simply need someone who is trained to compliment your child's learning style and help him/her work through the concepts.

Does your child need qualified help with math homework? Academically speaking, some subjects are naturally easier for some students than others. When the material is understandable, learning can be enjoyable and the assignments are no big deal. But, if the concepts are difficult to comprehend, like mathematics, help with math homework is so important.

The math word problem solving strategies presented work with any math problem regardless of the math concept or idea a child is learning.

"Ever wondered how to make science or math flash cards for students to use with their mobile devices? This typically comes about because finding science and math flash cards specific to a particular concept, topic area, or unit is difficult. Often when appropriate flash cards are found, they are too expensive or need modification. Technological advances have uncomplicated the process of making tailor made free flash cards for students."

On Vi Hart's math concept video creations (graduate of Stony Brook, refers to herself as a mathemusician). She is shown with her balloon icosahedron model

Northwestern University scientists created a model to explore food web dynamics towards species conservation. "The goal of this project, funded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Mathematical Sciences, is to develop mathematical methods to study dynamical processes in complex networks. Although the specific application mentioned here may be useful in management of ecosystems, the mathematical foundation underlying the analysis is much more universal. The broad concept is innovative in the area of complex networks because it concludes that large-scale failures can be avoided by focusing on preventing the waves of failure that follow the initial event."
