Our math community is often times underrepresented in the media center. Here is a list of resources that may help you collaborate with the math department.
- Wolfram Alpha A math based search engine. It’s amazing! I’m still figuring how much more amazing every day…
- Math Movies Short videos identified by Harvard that incorporate math in modern media.
- Calculation Nation Math games from NCTM
- Yummy Math Relevant math for today’s classrooms.
- Illuminations Another gem from NCTM with excellent activities to incorporate into the classroom.
- Interactive Simulations Pretty much just as the title says. Looks at vectors, graphing, estimation, and pH. Incorporates a lot of physics integration.
- Interactive Whiteboard Activities Very cool activities for a math teacher to use with his/her Smartboard. Starts at a Kindergarten level and has activities all the way through what I would consider 8th grade (possibly even high school).
- More Smartboard Activities
- Even more Smartboard Resources-crosscurricular
- Teaching Math with the SmartBoard-includes tutorials and teaching techniques
- National Library of Virtual Manipulatives
- Figure This! Math Challenges for Families I’m a huge fan of math nights. Math is such an intimidating subject for so many families, why not invite them to learn too?
- That Quiz Math quizzes for all ages and levels
