Created by a university consortium, this site offers a wealth of graphs, charts, and data that students can use to analyze America's demographics. There are a number of prefabricated analyses available, and there is also enough data to create exercises or activities that let students explore on their own. There are a number of possibilities for social studies, math, or statistics in this one.

In the Classroom

Share these visuals on your projector or interactive whiteboard. Have students investigate one area of this data and contribute to a class wiki. Not comfortable with wikis? Have no wiki worries - check out the TeachersFirst's Wiki Walk-Through.

Here's an ongoing interactive puzzle that can really grow on you. A free registration lets users move through the puzzle one week at a time, discovering new clues with each visit and working with numbers and words to unlock the puzzle's secrets. This would be a great one for an ongoing activity that builds logic and higher order reasoning skills.

This "down under" site is much more than a dictionary. There's a definition for each term listed, and most of the definitions include one or more illustrations of the concepts. The definitions include the most basic math terms, as well as many more advanced words, making this a useful site for almost any grade level.

A math and consumer science lesson that lets students build a budget and and menushop to fit their allotted funds and menu. Designed for use on-line, this unit could also be done off-line using newspaper sale advertising. This lesson plan was one of the winners in a lesson plan contest sponsored by TeachersFirst. TeachersFirst editors have added technology options where appropriate.

In the Classroom

Teachers may also find this lesson useful with older special education or life skills students. Technology options include using web sources for shopping information and coupons and for creating the student projects.

This nationally published news source makes for an excellent resource for a teacher or student looking for current events. There's information ranging from politics, global news, business, technology - even pop culture. This would be useful in any classroom where a knowledge of the now was focused on.

In the Classroom

Use this site as a resource for current events projects - assign students various weeks through out the semester in which they are to be the class news reporter, keeping their peers up to date and informed. Have students research whats going on via this news site, and present a small presentation at the beginning of class every day during their week. Students can either orally present, or for the technologically inclined, create a short video summarizing the same information. Have students create news briefs and share them using a tool such as SchoolTube reviewed here.

This site contains all of the information needed for teachers to use the 16 classroom activities of SkyMath, including the module itself. The SkyMath Module, "Using the Science and Language of Patterns to Explore Temperature," calls for the development of several mathematical concepts using a single central concept from weather --- temperature. The SkyMath curriculum uses real-time weather data, involves classrooms in hands-on mathematics, elicits higher-level thinking, engages students in purposeful projects, and calls for reflection and communication.

This section of the Cut-the-Knot site offers several neat interactive probability illustrations, along with descriptions of several classic probability problems, each of which illustrates a different aspect of probability. These are great, "Why is it that...?" discussion starters, and well worth a look.

In the Classroom

Open the probability problems on the interactive whiteboard or projector, having students attempt to work on the problems in cooperative learning groups. This is a great way to review a unit on probability, as are the sections at the top entitled "What is probability?" Share the site on the class wiki or web page to allow students to access it in and out of the classroom for review.

This site chronicles a national project to get students involved in math using the world around them. School teams participate in a field trip to answer one or more mathematical puzzles or questions. The site has enough examples that you could create your own "trail," or you can learn more about the national project. Neat idea.

This fabulous collection of interactives and tools supports math and science concepts across grades 3-12. There are also lessons to accompany the activities and a dictionary of math terms. Sort by "audience" to narrow the listings by level: 3-5, 6-8, or 9-12. Version 3.0, released in 2010, provides better searching by activity type and curriculum term. Click at the bottom of the screen for an "interactivate Guide" to explain the various ways you can search, or simply click on Learner Activities to browse and see the breadth of offerings in areas such as Number and Operations, Geometry, Algebra, Probability, Statistics, Modeling, Discrete, and more.

In the Classroom

Mark this one in your teacher favorites, then return to select activities in support of math or science units. Many curriculum topics have multiple offerings, so let students choose from among three to five activities for homework, in-class practice, or student- demonstrated skills on an interactive whiteboard or projector. Rotate different student groups to run the demonstrations and explanations of the interactives or have them write explanations of them on a class wiki for others to use for review and practice.

This site offers a large collection of logic problems, conundrums, and java-based math puzzles and simulations. They range from fairly simple to quite difficult. There are lots of illustrations of mathematical concepts here, as well as mind-stretchers for students who need an additional challenge.

In the Classroom

Use this site for extra credit on quizzes or for daily brain busters at the start of every class. Open a problem on the interactive whiteboard or projector and challenge students to compete to solve the problem first. Some of the problems are fairly tricky so be sure to give enough time for students to complete it!

This section of Swarthmore College's extensive math site offer suggestions for science fair projects which have a focus on mathematics. There are sample projects, collections of ideas, and links to science fair sites from other schools. If your students are "stuck," this site should get them moving.

In the Classroom

Post this site on the class web page, to allow students to access it both in and out of the classroom. The site has a ton of ideas on project ideas for math fairs, and students should be encouraged to look at it before making a decision on their own project. Some of the ideas come in spanish versions, which would make it easier to comprehend for ESL students!

This archive contains the biographies of more than 3,000 mathematicians. They are accessible from either an alphabetical or chronological biographical index. Biographies are suitable for a computer-based presentation.

In the Classroom

Use the "Mathematician of the day" section on the interactive whiteboard or projector as a brain-warmer at the beginning of class. Highlighting important mathematicians can help connect the ideas to people, making the subject more tangible. What's great about the mathematicians mentioned is that there are links explaining who they are and their significance in the math world. Try testing students on identifying the scholars before exploring the biographies.
