- Geometry Online - Cynthia Lanius
Geometry activities from a geometry class at Milby High School in Houston, Texas. Topics include: History of Geometry (contributions of Egyptians, Babylonians, and Greeks, with links to biographies of major contributors to geometry); Hidden Polygons (locate them on triangular grid paper); Isosceles Triangle Puzzler (use the Isosceles Triangle Theorem to analyze a problem with similar triangles - answers can be submitted online); Circles and Pythagoras; an SAT-Type Quiz (graded online); The Golden Ratio (do a measuring activity and build a rectangle that approaches the golden ratio; Experiment with Volume (demonstration of volume of cylinders; School-Bus Geometry (a non-Euclidean geometry introduced using a school bus rather than a taxicab; and Glossary of geometric terms. Includes Geometer's Sketchpad sketches to download.

- 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.
