ANY MATH COURSE

GREAT VIDEOS ? Explain concepts in easy-to-understand fashion for almost any math course.



MATH SOLVER - Mathway provides students with the tools they need to solve their math problems. With tens of millions of problems already solved, Mathway is the #1 online problem solving resource available for students, parents, and teachers.

VIDEOS by topic or textbook

EXCELLENT MATH VIDEOS - Great teachers explaining sample problems on video ? algebra to calculus.

offers the world's largest library of interactive online simulations for math and science education in grades 3-12. We call these simulations Gizmos. Free 30-day trial for all 450 Gizmos ? EXCELLENT SITE FOR GRADES 3 - 12

- **FOR INSTRUCTORS ONLY** THE MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA ? Helping us think about how best to teach and how students learn is an important part of the mission of the MAA. Their Teaching and Learning section provides useful and thoughtful articles about teaching mathematics. See current research in mathematics education as well the Innovative Teacher Exchange forum where you can share or contribute idea

MATHEMATICAL PUZZLES - The math puzzles presented here are selected for the deceptive simplicity of their statement, or the elegance of their solution. They range over geometry, probability, number theory, algebra, calculus, trigonometry, and logic. All require a certain ingenuity, but usually only pre-

college math. Hints, answers, and fully worked solutions are provided, together with links to related mathematical topics.

INTERACTIVE, VISUAL REPRESENTATIONS FOR BASIC MATH TO CALCULUS - Excellent site ? free 30 day trial. Great for instructors to use in classroom ? reaches all types of learners.

SOLUTION GENERATORS ? All Math Courses

At first glance, you may feel these solution generators just provide students with an opportunity to cheat on homework. If these sites are offered to students with a message such as.... shortterm gain = long-term loss..., students will understand that these sites have two purposes: checking .... or seeing how to proceed if they reach an impasse. We all know that students cannot achieve in math without having done and understood their homework.
