Send suggestions foradditions and deletions, as well as non-working links, to Daryl Stephens.

All links should send you to a new browserwindow, if your browser can do that. Close that new window to return tothis page.  Due to the increasing length of this page, it's notpossible to check to make sure all links are working at all times. I try to check all links about twice a year.  Again, if youfind a link that doesn't work, please e-mail me (use the link above).

Possibleworkaround for links that no longer work: If you encounter abroken link, click your right mouse key on it and choose the selectionthat allows you to copy the URL.  (In Netscape, that's "Copy LinkLocation." In Internet Explorer, that's "Copy Shortcut." In Opera,that's "Copy Link Address" or keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+C.) Then go tothe web site and find the box marked with "The Wayback Machine." Click inside thebox and press Ctrl+V (or choose edit > paste from your drop downmenu.) Click on the button marked "Take Me Back" and you might be ableto find an old copy that the Internet Archive cached before the pagewas taken down from the original server.

Contents



General Math Sites
  • TheMath Forum --this must be one of the two most-linked math sitesI've encountered. (This is at a new address: mathforum.org)
  • Mathematics Archives -- University of Tennessee,Knoxville.  (This is the other most-linked site I see.)
  • GIMPS--The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search --A page devoted to Mersenne primes (prime numbers of the form 2 p - 1).  Lists the most recent ones found and howyou can use your office computer to aid in the search for additionalMersenne primes.
  • The PrimePages -- Information on prime numbers at the University ofTennessee-Martin.
  • "Why Must I Learn Math?" ,teacher at J.S. Morton East High School in Cicero, IL.  (Note: GeoCities page, which means it has popup ads)
  • ExactlyHow is Math Used in Technology? -- Page from British Columbia(Canada) Institute of Technology.  Gives several examples of howmath is used in technical fields such as electronics, surveying,occupational health, biomedical technology, and forestry. Examples range from algebra and geometry to to calculus anddifferential equations, so this could be useful to you also if youteach non-developmental classes also.




Developmental Math Sites

Sites that would make good activities/ pages for students
In this category you'llfind sites where you could send your students, as well as sources foryou to use.
  • Graphing applet --put in a function that can be written y = f(x) and it graphsthatfunction.
  • More Javagraphing applets with instructions onhow to include them in your own page.
  • AdultNumeracy Page --from Boston.  Activities for adultslearning math.
  • Glossary of Mathematics Mistakes -- articles dealwith common mistakes made by politicians, reporters, activists,etc.  Includesreal-life examples.
  • Web Quests--A Web Quest is anactivity in which you direct students to specific web sites tofind certain information and do something with it. Here are someexamples:
    • Mr. Schick's High School Math WebQuest Archive--David Schick, a teacher at Meridian High School, Bellingham,Washington, has put together a collection of several really goodexamples of WebQuests for high school math. He also has a number ofother good activities on his pages, so check them out if youhave time.
    • Planning for Population Growth --my attempt for aclass I took. Designed for elementary or intermediate algebra,depending on where you teach graphing linear equations, slope, etc.


Technology for Classes (Calculators,etc.)
 

Math Self-Help Sites




Sites Faculty ----listed in alphabetical order
  • Kim Brown, Tarrant County College, Northeast Campus-- Has some interesting ideas.  Check out her musical way ofremembering the Quadratic Formula!
  • MarySusan Hall, Georgia Perimeter College --Her page is titled" and Rainbows."  Yo may have seen her speakat several recent NADE conferences.  She has online materials(notes, sample tests, etc.)  for three levels of developmentalclasses, as well as for precalculus and calculus.  Information ongraphing calculators.  The Math 99, 1101, and 1113 are actuallycomplete online courses, so if you're thinking ofan online course at your institution, you may want to check these outto see how she did hers!
  • RobertaLacefield, Waycross College -- Adult education; integrating math,technology, and science. (Roberta is a former MathSPIN chair.)

  • Mathematical Association of America:  Quantitative Reasoning for College Graduates: A Complement to theStandards.   MAA's suggestion as to what kinds of math shouldbe required for college students.
  • AMATYC (American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges): Crossroadsin Mathematics: Standards for Introductory College Mathematics BeforeCalculus
    • CrossroadsRevisited Project -- update on the status of the next edition ofstandards for introductory college math


Math Education Organizations

Odds and Ends Related to TeachingMath (mostly just for fun)
  • A mathematician's most embarrassing moment (PeterAlfeld, University of Utah) -- even mathematicians can mess up thePythagorean Theorem in a stressful moment.  A pretty funny story!


Math History and MulticulturalResources
  • Mathographies --- biographical sketches of variousmathematicians (including several women)
  • Historyof old calculators (just for fun) and about the hobby ofcollecting old calculators (!) and information onthem. (new address)
  • The MacTutor History of Mathematics Archives -- fromUniversity of St. Andrews, Scotland
  • Mathematician of the Day -- also from University ofSt. Andrews, Scotland.  Tells what mathematicians were born ordied on this day.  Has pictures, biographies, and quote of the day.
