An ongoing project at Agnes Scott College in Athens, Georgia, this site features biographies of notable women mathematicians, which you can browse alphabetically, chronologically or geographically.

Playing With Math: Stories from Math Circles, Homeschoolers, and Passionate Teachers brings together the stories of over thirty authors who share their math enthusiasm with their communities, families, or students. After every chapter is a puzzle, game, or activity to get you and your kids playing with math too.

David Tall, emeritus professor from Warwick in the UK, published this book in 2013, and this links to his summary and a sample chapter. His papers and other math resources are on his website: http://homepages.warwick.ac.uk/staff/David.Tall/index.html

Published 2013 by CRC Press. A collection of essays and stories on mathematics for the general reader, including such topics as mathematicians, mathematical discoveries, prime numbers, puzzles, equations, proofs and the value of mathematics.

"Developing a 21st Century Global Library for Mathematics Research discusses how information about what the mathematical literature contains can be formalized and made easier to express, encode, and explore. Many of the tools necessary to make this information system a reality will require much more than indexing and will instead depend on community input paired with machine learning, where mathematicians' expertise can fill the gaps of automatization. This report proposes the establishment of an organization; the development of a set of platforms, tools, and services; the deployment of an ongoing applied research program to complement the development work; and the mobilization and coordination of the mathematical community to take the first steps toward these capabilities. The report recommends building on the extensive work done by many dedicated individuals under the rubric of the World Digital Mathematical Library, as well as many other community initiatives. Developing a 21st Century Global Library for Mathematics envisions a combination of machine learning methods and community-based editorial effort that makes a significantly greater portion of the information and knowledge in the global mathematical corpus available to researchers as linked open data through a central organizational entity-referred to in the report as the Digital Mathematics Library. This report describes how such a library might operate - discussing development and research needs, role in facilitating discover and interaction, and establishing partnerships with publishers."

Huge collection of math resources for any level student or teacher.

"An assistant professor at the University of California, Riverside Graduate School of Education has shown that a reading comprehension technique helps non-native English speakers in elementary school learn math."

Abstract: "Together, brain science and learning design inform Adaptive Interaction Design (AID), a technique for curriculum planning and development. Mathematics is a particular case in which AID can help. The Way of the Game is vital to learning design. There are many definitions of "game." Here, we mean game to be the means by which spontaneous play becomes responsible learning. That innovative games figure as the centerpiece of many 21st century curricula is no accident. Games are a critical element in modern theories of learning design especially when related to insights from neuroscience and online learning/teaching methods. But beyond simple gamification, can games provide the disruptive transformation to mathematics education that is required to effect substantive and sustainable improvement? Can we game the educational system to ensure students' success in mathematics? To find out, we will look at the AID process and two sample products for the development of mathematical thinking and practice based on the Way of the Game."

This is a wonderful resource for teaching the area of 2D shapes. Move and resize the shapes to change the values. It's a great resource to use on an interactive whiteboard. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Maths

An open source "general-purpose" computer algebra system.

"Mathics is a general-purpose computer algebra system. Enter queries and submit them by pressing Shift + Return. See the gallery for some neat examples or the documentation for a full list of supported functions. Mathics uses MathJax to display beautiful math."

"Beauty of Mathematics" from Parachutes.TV "showing the mathematics of different phenomena in equation, visualization, and realization. "
