Math Forum
http://mathforum.org/
The Math Forum at Drexel University is a comprehensive resource for Math education assistance. The site contains hands-on web learning tools, lesson plans, and activities for pre-kindergarten through college courses. There is also a section, Teacher2Teacher, aimed at parents as well as teachers who have questions about teaching mathematics. Other helpful features are online lesson plans, divided by grade, and the Internet Mathematics Library which contains links to other math web sites. The Ask Dr. Math section is extremely helpful for librarians who field a lot of homework help questions. There is a searchable archive of answers to posted questions about mathematics from students from elementary school through college. If the answer can’t be found in the archive, then the question can be sent to Dr. Math for a response. --RUSA Best Ref List |

Math Teaching and Learning Center
http://www.uwstout.edu/cas/mathtlc/
Located in Menomonie, Wisconsin, the University of Wisconsin-Stout is part of the state’s vast university system. Under the direction of Dr. Jeanne Foley, the Math Teaching and Learning Center has created a number of helpful instructional activities for students and educators. First-time visitors to the site will want to start by looking over their recent report on combining technology with traditional approaches to improve student outcomes in algebra courses for some helpful insights. Next, they might want to look over some of their resources on their course web sites. The site is rounded out by a selection of articles and links that talk about the Center’s recent successes. Visitors should not leave the site without listening to a rap created by student Marvin Ealy as the rap offers a lyrical tribute to the good work they do there at the Center. [KMG of Scout Report] |
