Mathematics and Science Websites 2007

The following are useful websites that I have
encountered. They include something for all levels of students. Many will link you to other sites
that we have not listed here. Enjoy your adventure!

1) Math Forum -- http://mathforum.org

You can also find a problem of the
week under the Projects title which could be used by teachers or students. Other titles include
Math Tips and Tricks, Beat Calc, Divisibility Rules, and Multiplication Tips.

2) Bob Wilcox's Mathematics Page -- http://geocities.com/Athens/3352

This link includes a problem of the week and links to sites all over the web.

3) Linda Sheffield’s Web Pages -- http://www.nku.edu/%7Emathed/p12sr.html

Resources for you.

4) Mathematics Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools -- http://www.moems.org/

These are contest problems that are administered 5 times during the school year within the
school. The top few scores are sent as the "team score" as part of the competition.

What is a WebQuest?

WebQuests:

• can be as short as a single class period or as long as a month-long unit;

• usually (though not always) involve group work, with division of labour among students who take on specific roles or perspectives;

• are built around resources that are preselected by the teacher. Students spend their time USING information, not LOOKING for it.

Examples:
