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.

What it says is what you get, but there are lots of calculus-related activities and resources at this site created by a math teacher. The site offers a problem of the week - with the solution the following week(!) as well as "fun stuff" involving calculus. This could be a useful site for students whose motivations range from mere survival to extended study.

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.

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 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!
