Algebasics is a fine online mathematics instructional resource that takes young and old alike through the basics of algebra. The breadth of the material is divided into sixteen sections, which begin with, "the basics," and proceed all the way to a section on applying algebra to real-world situations.
algebraThe Annenberg Foundation provides a total of 26 episodes in this "Algebra: In Simplest Terms" series that covers such topics as linear relations, the ellipse, rational functions, and geometric sequences. Narrated by Sol Garfunkel, the series uses practical examples as illustrations of various principles and axioms.NOTE: to watch the videos, visitors will need to fill out a free online registration form.
algebraTools designed to help a linear algebra student learn and practice a basic linear algebra procedure, such as Gauss-Jordan reduction, calculating the determinant, or checking for linear independence, solve linear systems of equations or transform a matrix to row echelon form. Created by Przemyslaw Bogacki, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Old Dominion University.
calcVisual Calculus describes how technology can be used in the teaching of calculus. The site includes detailed information about implementation with a variety of software packages, interactive modules, and drill problems.
calcThis site is maintained by Mike Kelley, an award-winning teacher from Maryland. Calculus students and teachers can brush up on skillsE and even visit the Problems of Christmas PastE area to test knowledge of calculus. Students will appreciate the interactive cheat sheet, listing all the formulas needed for the AP test (you can find this under the link "Fun Calculus Stuff").
calcHow are rainbows formed? The University of Minnesota's Calculus Initiative has the inside scoop. Here your students will learn about reflection, refraction and how light travels. They will be able to calculate the path of a beam of light through a water droplet and predict the best viewing angle for observing the resulting rainbow.
calcJust goes to show you that a regular teacher can create interesting web-based content! This site is based on the standard webquest formula which includes an Introduction , Task, Process, Resources, Evaluation, and Conclusion. The premise: 'Captain Anti-Math' has stolen the number 'e' from your hometown. Many local businesses cannot FUNCTION (as in mathematical function). Using Resources provided, students must design an 'e' problem/solution related to their chosen business. Each problem should be a mathematical function or formula utilizing the number 'e'. The solution steps must be clearly mathematically documented. The findings should be presented using a professional looking visual aid (poster, graph, model, etc).
