If you need help in College Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, Beginning Algebra, Math for the Sciences, or preparing for the math part of the general GRE, THEA or ACCUPLACER test, you have come to the right place. Note that you do not have to be a student at WTAMU to use any of these online tutorials.

Microsoft Mathematics 4.0, for students in middle school, high school, and early college, shows how to solve equations while bolstering understanding of fundamental math concepts. It features built-in Ink Handwriting Support, which lets you hand-write math problems and equations in a worksheet area on a tablet or ultra-mobile PCs for immediate solving or later work. The software also includes a graphing calculator capable of plotting in 2D and 3D, a movie editor, a library of formulas and equations, a triangle solver, and more.

"I began my personal journey into the world of Cubing when I was attending Regis University in Denver, Colorado in 2009. My senior thesis project involved devising a cryptosystem using the Rubik's Cube to encode and decode messages. Although my involvement with the Rubik's Cube waned post-graduation, it was rekindled shortly after I became a secondary teacher of mathematics in 2014. I had several Rubik's Cubes in my possession from my college days and these decorated the shelves in my classroom. I recall these puzzles catching the eyes of many curious pupils. After months of traditional curriculum presentation, I determined that my students were in need of a novel lesson, one that would ignite a passion for problem-solving. This lesson would involve the colourful and alluring hexahedron puzzle on my desk: the Rubik's Cube."

Discussion of Alleyoop, Pearson Edcuation's app to help high school students reach college competence in math and science

Discusses quantitative literacy (QL) as a student learning outcome and the work of Project Kaleidoscope and others towards effecting the curriculum in that direction

Part of a series considering options for college-bound students, this column emphasizes the importance of quantitative skills across the curriculum and workforce.

A pre-college bridge program using an assessment software is described, with some note of increased mentoring, tutoring availability and accommodations between first and second year implementation

Abstract: "How can smartphones apps enrich the learning of mathematics in vocational education? This article examines how mathematics teaching can be enriched by apps using smartphone sensors such as gyroscope, compass, camera, and touch screen in a gaming context. An iterative and participatory design process involving two classes of carpentry students from different vocational colleges resulted in two highly successful and course-relevant games based on trigonometry. Each game consists of quests and missions whose successful completion unlocks more theoretical multiple-choice exercises for the classroom. The combination of competition to unlock exercises, competition for placing on the high-score list, and physical activity proved very motivating for the students and was also approved by their teachers. In this article we describe our design principles, the overall game architecture and the games themselves. We talk about our experience in implementing our design process and subsequently summarize the pros and cons of the application and the smartphone platform and how the app developed contributes to vocational mathematics teaching"

Using games to illustrate concepts in statistics

Summaries of presentations from a symposium at Florida International University in 2012

"Broadening participation among women and racial/ethnic minorities in science, technology, engineering and maths" , book chapter excerpt

"The aim of this article is to illustrate a pedagogical strategy originally introduced elsewhere [8, 9] of linking the application-oriented, computer-enabled experiential approach to K-12 mathematics with the applied, project-based approach to the teaching of university mathematics at the undergraduate level."

This is my Singapore maths website which caters to the cambridge A level H2 maths syllabus. I have created two problem/worked solution portals-"The Question Locker" and "Beyond H2 Maths" targeted at high school and early college math students, hope they are useful. Peace.
