Developed at the University of Minnesota, this site offers a wide variety of geometry information, illustrations, and resources, including links to other sites. Navigation is not always easy, but the information is useful. A Java-capable browser is a must for this site.

In the Classroom

Open the "Gallery of Interactive Geometry" and allow students to explore it on the interactive whiteboard or projector. This activity allows them to make their own geometric shapes and patterns, and explores questions like how are rainbows formed? Use this site to spice up a unit on geometric shapes.

This Web Site contains word problems for students, parents, and teachers. The problems are classified into grade levels from Grade 5 to Grade 12. This is not a test, but a set of carefully selected problems which can help you improve your problem solving skills. It works if you try to carefully think about how you would solve each problem, and once you have found the solution, you make sure that you understand all parts of the solution. You can try any problem you like and if the problem is a little difficult you can get helpful hints by following the hints link. Complete solutions are available to teachers with e-mail addresses upon request. The problems are separated by grade.

In the Classroom

Enjoy doing these word problems together with your students, being careful to discuss each step and your line of reasoning before you continue. It is more important to talk about the process than to hurry to the right answer!

This site provides a variety of activities for exploring knots made from pieces of rope. Students can make and verify observations about knots, classify them, combine them, and find ways to determine if two knots are alike. The activities outlined here can be combined to form a single lesson about mathematical knots, or a larger investigative unit that extends over a longer period of time. The sequence in which the activities are listed is roughly in order of increasing difficulty and challenge. The site contains a vocabulary section, an activities section, and an evaluation section.

In the Classroom

Get out your rope and try to tie some of the knots suggested on this website. For each, talk about its steps and components, comparing and contrasting them as you go. Come back to the activity often, and try more difficult ones as you progress in difficulty.

This slick little page from APlus lets users create printable flash cards for basic math facts in either pre-packaged sets or using customized problem sets. It's a simple way to create cards to meet different student needs.

In the Classroom

Use this site as a learning center or station before a final assessment in your math class. Have students create and practice with flashcards based on their most difficult topics, allowing them to better focus their studying. This would also be a great one to post on your teacher wiki or webpage, allowing students to practice both in and out of the classroom!

MendelWeb is a rich hypermedia site that integrates the study of elementary mathematics (i.e. probability and statistics), classical genetics, European history, and the history of early modern biology. It is geared to both the high school/AP teacher and student. The section entitled "Secondary Sources and Tools" provides additional ideas and activities for use in the classroom. Noteworthy is the "Mendelroom" a virtual space designed for teachers and students who wish to share their experiences and ideas when using MendelWeb.

In the Classroom

Introduce this site with a projector or on an interactive whiteboard to show students how to navigate. Suggestion - start with "Experiments in Plant Hybridization." The English Hypertext is a glossary. Then, in your flipped or blended classroom (or at a computer center), have students explore assigned sections of Experiments in Plant Hybridization on their own. Ask students to create their own concept maps sharing their learning and understanding using MindMup, reviewed here. Take this a step further and allow pairs or small groups of students share what they learned with their peers using an interactive infographic like Canva, reviewed here. Students can keep their work for future reference in a digital portfolio such as DIY, reviewed here. If your students are already familiar with the content of "Experiments in Plant Hybridization," use the tool suggestions as above for the "Secondary Sources and Tools" section.
