This is done by the folks at the
Computer Research and Applications Group
at Los
Alamos National Laboratory. I didn't go real far with it but what I saw looks
interesting, especially
Welcome to the Hotel Infinity!
This is a great
compilation of books, sites, videos and computer software regarding math
from a great homeschool Mom, Karen Gibson. Enjoy.This was posted to another list - since a couple of our favorite math sites are
on it, I thought this group might be interested.
The MathCounts website. Great program
for competitive math. Austin's group has won several state and national
titles.
Welcome To Rick Schauer's Math Pages, an entire K-12 math curriculum
that's open for free to everyone but geared toward special education learners
with math disabilities and to learners preparing for the State of Minnesota 8th
Grade Basic Standards Test. As of October 26, 1999, there are over 4,600
math problems here for learners pre-kindergarten to high school who need help
learning to count, write numbers, understand place value, addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division, prime numbers, composite numbers, least common
multiples, greatest common factors, factoring whole numbers and * NEW *
fractions. This includes: Tips and Tricks for learning different math operations
and supporting worksheets for practice.
I did a search in Yahoo for "Math Symbols" and this has
great history of the
symbols and how they became in use.
Swarthmore University runs a web site called
The Math Forum which has the
greatest set of math education links I have seen
in one place.
My favorite math site is the 2+2=4 Mathematically Correct website. It
tells you what kind of math instruction to avoid in addition to explaining math
instruction that works!

This is a site put together by Michael Lloyd, a colleague, good friend and
really nice Christian guy. In addition to that he is one of the best calculator
programmers in the world. In fact, you don't have to take my word for that.
Texas Instruments links to Michael's page. ~Dr. Fred Worth
