  1. Searching The Web Favorite Math Sites Carnies: Claudia and Milly

  2. Algebra • http://forum.swarthmore.edu/sum95/ruth/sketches/algcalc.sketches.html • Great site using geometer’s sketchpad to explore the relationships between m and b in slope-intercept form of the line AND a and c in y= ax^2+c

  3. Geometry • http://mathforum.com/sum95/suzanne/tess.intro.html • Using Hyperstudio to produce tessellations • http://www.geom.umn.edu/~demo5337/Group2/ • Exploring concurrency in triangles • http://www.stetson.edu/~efriedma/packing.html • Eric’s Packing Center. Looking at how shapes fit into packages • http://forum.swarthmore.edu/geometry/selected.geom.html • Page of links to geometry sites • http://forum.swarthmore.edu/alejandre/workshops/unit14.html • A site of workshops using polyhedra in the classroom.

  4. Miscellaneous • http://forum.swarthmore.edu/~isaac/mathhist.html • A site which explores some of the most famous math problems in history, including what is the value of p • http://forum.swarthmore.edu/dr.math/ • Ask Dr. Math. A great source for help or information on a specific topic. • http://forum.swarthmore.edu/pow/ • Problem of the week, by grade level, class. Also has an archive. • http://mathforum.com/hunt/ • Use for extra credit. Pose questions like: What was Pythagorus’ wife’s name?A famous mathematician was born on the 27th of January; who was he and what is he really famous for?

  5. Statistics, partI • http://math.rice.edu/~lanius/Algebra/hndsq.html • Handsqueezing activity for stats • http://math.rice.edu/~lanius/Algebra/rightleft.html • right or left handedness • http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbs/Academics/gbsmat/Internet%20Projects/temp/temp.html • Regression models using weather and sine waves • http://www.kqed.org/ednet/school/math/mathonline/lessons/peoplegone/ • Nice intro to data collection • http://www.crpc.rice.edu/CRPC/GT/sboone/Lessons/lptitle.html • linear regression using housing prices

  6. Statistics, part II • http://www.mste.uiuc.edu/hill/dstat/dstatintro.html • A lesson (or rather several) that teaches measures of central tendency • http://www.mste.uiuc.edu/patel/amar430/intro.html • A lesson in linear regression using cricket chirps. Simple and difficult mixed together • http://www.crpc.rice.edu/CRPC/GT/bchristo/lessons/StanDev1.html • A lesson plan teaching standard deviation to compare the temperatures of two similar cities. Needs netscape ( internet explorer?) and a scientific calculator • http://www.crpc.rice.edu/CRPC/GT/bchristo/lessons/StanDev2.html • A follow up lesson for the above • http://www.mste.uiuc.edu/hill/ev/seriesprob.html • Short and sweet question that deals with expected value for a binomial situation, modelling, etc. Good for probability and stats
