It’s a math day.
Every now and then I like to find new sites to help enrich my math program. Here are a few of my old time favourites and some new ones, as well.
Bridgeport Mathematics – This site has resources for pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Clicking on each topic brings you to an set of resources for each, complete with unit overviews (they call them pacing guides), online practice, worksheets, and additional links. There are also math cartoons and math magic games, as well as a direct link to the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives.
mathcentre – Another good resource site for math videos, worksheet booklets, games, and so much more.
Yummy Math – This sites brings in real world connections to various topics across the math curriculum. (I also like the mathalicious site for real world connections in math, but they are currently under construction – should be up and running soon.)
Mathwire – A great site for math enrichment activities.
nrich – This site provides Rich tasks for the math program. It is based in the UK, so look to the key stage/age equivalencies on the help page.
The last site I will highlight today is from the Utah Education Network, which provides math interactive activities across the curriculum.
And if you find yourself with a spare moment or two (or nine), you can always enlighten yourself with a bit of global population statistics from the educated mind of Hans Rosling.
