The Final Report of the National Mathematics Advisory Panel noted that many middle school students have a weak understanding of mathematical equality and that this lack of understanding impedes their learning of algebra.

The main objective of the Intergeo Project is to make digital content for mathematics teaching in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable.
Intergeo will...
* offer content in a searchable and metadata-tagged portal.
* enable users to use their software of choice by specifying a common file format based on open standards.
* test available material in the classroom. All stakeholders, software teams, resource authors, teachers and learners will be involved, in order to promote quality enhancement cycles.

This unit gives a historical background to mathematics education in South Africa, to outcomes-based education and to the national curriculum statement for mathematics. The traditional approach to teaching mathematics is then contrasted with an approach to teaching mathematics that focuses on 'doing' mathematics, and mathematics as a science of pattern and order, in which learners actively explore mathematical ideas in a conducive classroom environment.
The aim of SAIDE ACEMaths project was to pilot a collaborative process for the selection, adaptation and use of OER materials for teacher education programmes in South Africa.
Over a period of two years we adapted, piloted and revised a set of materials on the teaching and learning of maths for teacher education. These are now available for downloading FOR FREE in two formats - for printing (PDF), and for adaptation (Word). See the ACEMaths Module to have a look.
Math Central is an Internet service for mathematics students and teachers. It is available in English, French, and Spanish.
The site includes:
* Resource Room: teaching resources and glossaries
* Quandaries and Queries: ask a question or search and browse answers
* Mathematics with a Human Face: biographies and career information
* Teachers' Bulletin Board: conferences, organizations, newsletters and periodicals
* Outreach Activities: Canadian educational outreach opportunities
* Math Beyond School: articles addressing "where will I ever use this?"
* Problem of the Month: see a new problem in September

Numbers can't "talk," but they can tell you as much as your human sources can. But just like with human sources, you have to ask! So what should you ask a number? Well, mathematicians have developed an entire field - statistics - dedicated to getting answers out of numbers. Now, you don't have to have a degree in statistics in order to conduct an effective "interview" with your data. But you do need to know a few basics. Here, described in plain English, are some basic concepts in statistics that every writer should know...
