Content
Resources |
Students will likely find these sites more useful in that they are
resources that are more about mathematical content.
 |
Khan Academy - This it a great
site for videos and extra practice on just about every concept we see in
high school mathematics. Students really like the fun "tone" of the
lessons, too! |
|
Math Forum - This link takes
you to the "Ask Dr. Math" page, which is an archive of questions and
answers for all levels of mathematics. If you have a specific
question, try searching here and there's a good chance someone else had
asked it before. |
|
Paul's Online Notes - I
personally find this site helpful when looking up more advanced topics,
although students also like the extras on the first page. |
|
PurpleMath -
This link takes you directly to this site's "topics" page. I think
this is a great place for those students looking to review specific
algebra skills. |
|
SOS Math - I like this site for its
many examples by topic. |
|
Wolfram Mathworld - When I get
stumped for a formal definition for something in mathematics, this is the
first place I look. Much of it is considerably more advanced than
what we see in high school, but I find it useful. |

Instructional
Resources |
These are just
a few sites about instruction and curriculum, geared more for teachers than
students.
|
AP Central
- This is the College Board's site dedicated to all things Advanced
Placement, a great resource for anyone teaching an AP course. |
|
Common
Core State Standards - This is more about curriculum than instruction,
but here is a link to the CCSSI's page dedicated to mathematics. |
|
Illuminations - Here is a
link to NCTM's site loaded with activities and lessons, all geared toward
their Principles and Standards of School Mathematics |
|
Lesson Planet - This site has a
lot of shared lessons and worksheets for all subjects. It includes
standards by state, too, but some seem to be outdated. |
|
Natural Library of Virtual Manipulatives
- This site has a collection of Java applets that can be used for a
variety of activities. |
|
Teachers' Domain - This site
was recommended to me by another educator, and it focuses on using media
in lessons. |
|
|
|
|
|
Technology
Resources |
Each of these
sites could be included above as well, but students and teachers alike might
find them useful.
|
Advanced Grapher - This is
not a free graphing program - you can download a trial version here though
- but is one I use a lot in class. Great for presentations and
projects. |
|
Calculator Basics
- This is a brief guide
for
some of the functionalities of the TI-83/84 we use in class. In particular,
it illustrates how to enter lists of data, create a scatter
plot, and find the line of best fit. There is also a little
troubleshooting information as well. |
|
GCalc - Of all the free online graphing
calculators out there, this is one of the easier ones to use. |
|
GeoGebra - This is a free
graphing program that does well with both algebraic and geometric
illustrations. It can be a little less intuitive for some, but does
have more capabilities than other programs. |
|
Geometer's Sketchpad - This
is the main page for one of the most popular software applications used in
geometry and other mathematics courses. It has links to many student
and teacher resources. |
|
Texas Instruments - This is TI's Education Technology site, which has
a ton of resources for calculators and other products. Teachers will
like their classroom activities. |
|
ticalc.org - For those looking for a
program for their calculator, this is the place to go. Search the
archives and you can find anything. |
|
Wolfram Alpha - This is an
amazing computational site, complete with tons of examples. |
|
|

|
Miscellaneous
Resources |
This section
is a little thin at the moment... I'm hoping to add a bit more in the
future.
|
Cut-The-Knot - If
you like mathematical puzzles, this is just a cool site. |
|
US Census Bureau - This is a great
site if you are looking for various data for projects or lessons. |
