"Math games are a great way to help students improve their math facts accuracy. These games can be general math or focus on a specific math concept such as, solving integers.
One math game is called "Fraction Face-Off." This game can also be modified to address a varied of math concepts."
"Create an imaginary landscape with NGAkids JUNGLE. Mix and match the animals, control the weather and lighting conditions, or construct flowers, trees, and plants. An "AUTO" button generates random compositions, so you can sample program options and experiment with special effects as a starting point for your own designs. This Shockwave interactive is intended for children of all ages. To begin, just click one of the menu pictures above.
JUNGLE is inspired by the paintings of French artist Henri Rousseau. Learn more about the artist's work, or plan to see Henri Rousseau: Jungles in Paris, a special exhibition that will be on view at the National Gallery of Art from July 16-October 15, 2006. "
Project Based Learning is an instructional approach built upon authentic learning activities that engage student interest and motivation. These activities are designed to answer a question or solve a problem and generally reflect the types of learning and work people do in the everyday world outside the science or math classroom.
For students to make connections in algebraic thinking in problem solving situations, it is important they learn to use algebra symbolism to represent known and unknown information. To this end they must express problem solving situations as linear, quadratic, or exponential models. This way of thinking also requires students to model, represent, analyze, and generalize contextualized problems in a variety of problem solving situations as they begin to think algebraically.
DOC Cop is a plagiarism, cryptomnesia and collusion detection tool that creates reports displaying the correlation and matches between documents or a document and the Web.
DOC Cop does not take copyright or ownership of your material. It does not retain your material beyond the time it takes to generate your report.
DOC Cop gathers the evidence and provides the information necessary to judge whether plagiarism, cryptomnesia or collusion has occurred.

Why use experiments in teaching economics[edit]
They help students to understand an otherwise abstract model. In the double auction experiment they experience, for example, how demand and supply drive the market towards equilibrium. It's learning by doing.To show that economic theory works (for instance, in a Bertrand game). This is important because students or the general public are often too sceptical about the use of mathematical analysis in economics.To show that economic theory does not work (for instance, in an ultimatum game). This quickly leads to questions on the current frontier of our science.An experiment can make it easier for students to grasp a threshold concept like Nash equilibrium.
The Engineering Design Challenges Program connects students in their classrooms with the challenges faced by NASA engineers as they design the next generation of space vehicles, habitats and technology. Middle and High School students work on design challenges with their teachers. These design challenges help students achieve national goals in science, mathematics, and thinking skills.
