through Pre-Calculus.
Figure This! Math Challenges for Families
http://www.figurethis.org/index40.htm
"Mark McGuire's 70th home run ball sold for $3 million in 1999. If Babe
Ruth's 60th home run ball was worth $3,000 in 1927, and doubles its value
every seven years, which would be worth more today?" This site features
real-world math questions designed to motivate middle school students to
learn higher-level math operations involving angles, volumes, number
patterns, etc. By using high-interest everyday subjects for the activities,
students become aware of how useful math is outside the classroom.
Harcourt Multimedia Math Glossary
http://www.hbschool.com/glossary/math/glossary8.html
Use this site to help students in elementary and middle school visualize
challenging math ideas. Illustrations and animations of concepts such as
sums, ordinal numbers, and telling time are available for young students,
while items such as alternate interior angles and congruency are depicted
for older students. The descriptions are categorized by grade level.
Illuminations
http://www.illuminations.nctm.org
Here's an "illumination" indeed of the newly revised National Council of
Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) math principles and standards. The site
includes Web-based multimedia activities, video vignettes of teaching and
learning, lesson plans, and a rich network of links. Here, a 2nd grader can
learn about distance and angles as he figures out how to map a turtle's path
to a pond online, or a high schooler can test her conjectures about why
crows usually drop whelks from a certain height to break them open for food.
Lesson Plans

Mega Math
http://www.c3.lanl.gov/mega-math
This site is intended to bring unusual and important mathematical ideas to elementary
classrooms. "Mathematics is lively and exciting; it is a field more akin to art and
poetry than many people think," say the Mega Math authors at the Los Alamos National
Laboratory. They go on to provide activities and
explanations for some high-level mathematical concepts. What is infinity
plus 1? Why does a map never need to contain more than four colors? How does
a minimum dominating set help people figure out where to put airports and
subway stations?
National Library of Virtual Manipulatives for Interactive Mathematics
http://matti.usu.edu/nlvm/index.html
"Hands on" gets virtual at this site, which collects uniquely interactive,
Web-based manipulatives or concept tutorials aimed at K-8 math learners.

Pythagorean Theorem, tessellation, base 10, or comparing fractions. This
site has received an award from the National Science Foundation.
National Math Trail
http://www.nationalmathtrail.org/
The National Math Trail is an opportunity for K-12 teachers and students to discover and
share the math that exists in their own environments. Students explore their communities
and create one or more math problems that relate to what they find. Teachers submit the
problems to the National Math Trail site, along with photos, drawings, sound recordings,
and videos--whatever can be adapted to the Internet. All submissions will be posted to
the site as they are received. They are also indexed according to grade level and math
topic and will remain on site for access by educators, students and parents. A projects
oriented site that is worth exploring.
