- Math 5337: Technology in the Geometry Classroom -
Sullivan, Burgiel, Osinga; The Geometry Center, Univ. of Minnesota
From the University of Minnesota's course in Computational Methods in Elementary Geometry, materials developed at the Geometry Center for teaching pre- and
in-service teachers of high-school geometry interested in using technology in their classrooms. Internet skills: introduction to the Web, technical information; Classical Geometry: Introductory Questions for Geometer's Sketchpad; Monge's Theorem (Sketchpad lab); Peaucellier's Linkage (a simple toy). A Dynamical Systems lab uses Java applets; Symmetry and Patterns offers units on Introduction to Symmetries, Wallpaper patterns, and Orbifolds. With appendices (materials used in class, videotapes shown in the course); Software; and student projects: Napoleon's Theorem, Tessellations, the Golden Rectangle, Fibonacci Numbers, a Slice of Pi, Pascal, and Conjectures in Geometry. Most projects include several Geometer's Sketchpad sketches.

- NASA CONNECT - Dr. Thomas E. Pinelli, Distance Learning Officer, NASA LaRC Office of Education
An annual series of free integrated mathematics, science, and technology instructional distance learning programs for students in grades 5-8. Each program has three components: a 30-minute TV broadcastthat can be viewed live or taped for later use; an interactive Web activity for the classroom; and a lesson guide describing a hands-on activity. (Downloadable lesson guides from previous years are available from the Library of Shows.) Register at the site for e-mail dates of upcoming shows, show summaries, and PDF versions of the lesson guides. Endorsed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), NASA CONNECT supports national mathematics, science, and technology standards.

- Resource Room (Math Central) - University of Regina, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada
French version: Centre de ressources. A service of Math Central that allows mathematics educators to share resources having to do with math teaching. Submissions are stored in a database that can be browsed by educational level and curriculum strand, or searched by keyword. Also: mathematics glossaries, sites of particular interest to Saskatchewan teachers, and a CyberBibliography. Elementary, middle, and secondary level strands include: algebra, calculus, data management and analysis/consumer mathematics; equations and problem solving; functions; general; geometry; math history; measurement; numbers and operations; problem solving; ratio and proportion; subject integration; and trigonometry.

- This is MegaMathematics! (MegaMath) - Nancy Casey; Los Alamos National Laboratory
The frontier of mathematics is an exciting place, where mathematicians experiment and play with creative and imaginative ideas, many of them accessible to young children; others (infinity is a good example) whose profound mathematical importance is not widely known or understood. MegaMath is a project of the Computer Research and Applications Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory intended to bring unusual and important mathematical ideas to elementary school classrooms so that young people and their teachers can think about them together. See also http://www.cs.uidaho.edu/~casey931/mega-math/menu.html.
