Extractions: This page contains activities and resources that are appropriate for teachers at the 6-8 grade level for use as they reflect on, plan for, and implement Standards-based mathematics education in their classrooms. Click on the following links (or scroll down the page) to find the Table of Contents for each section. i-Maths are online, interactive, multimedia math investigations. All i-Maths are built around interactive math applets, and some also include video clips. There are two lengths of i-Maths: single-day and multi-day, as identified below. Complete i-Maths include student investigations, teacher notes, and answers. Some of the multi-day i-Maths also include video clips of teachers and students using the investigation, sample student work, assessment tasks, and related professional development activities. Student i-Maths contain just the student investigations. They are ready to use by students. e-Math Investigations are selected E-examples from the electronic version of NCTM's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics . Each E-example consists of an interactive math applet, suggestions for student activities, and some discussion for teachers. These investigations can be identified by the icon to the right.

Extractions: Children's Software Review: Math Missions Grades 3-5: The Amazing Arcade Adventure (Scholastic) Related Links The cartoon city of Spectacle City, founded by Horton Spectacle, was destined to be the greatest city on Earth, but Randall Underling is determined to see it fail. Not only that, the store clerks need help with math. Players step in to help the clerks run their shops, drawing on real-world math skills as they do. This program is outstanding. It keeps children busy, has a clear goal to work towards, and features clever activities that are mostly fun to complete. As children participate in the activities, they earn money. Once they've earned enough money and achieved a set game ranking, they can open up the city's arcade. Not only do children get to play the arcade games as a reward, they actually become owners of the arcade and make business decisions about what games to buy for the arcade, buy ads, and track sales! This business simulation is a fun and educational reward. Of course, children will want to earn more money to keep the arcade alive and thriving, and they need only return to the program's activities in the stores in order to do so. At sign-in, children choose a difficulty level. There are three levels, designed to correspond to third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade curriculum. The program is probably best for children entering fourth or fifth grade because, as with the Math Missions Grades K-2 program, the math activities are somewhat advanced.

Spring 2003 SELECT Math survey See below for Resources The SELECT Math Project will provide professional development activities and materials to enable teachers to effectively integrate technology into mathematics teaching and learning in middle level classrooms throughout Boston. This professional development model will provide ongoing, embedded support to teachers through face-to face workshops and courses, exchanges with colleagues, and mentoring through the use of the BPS Secondary Mathematics Department and Office of Instructional Technology staff. This project will enable participants to: develop and expand the participants' knowledge of sophisticated tools designed to deepen mathematical understanding (e.g., Geometer's Sketchpad, Tabletop, Fathom, Mathlab, and applets such as those available from NCTM at http://illuminations.nctm.org/index2.html
