The Mathematical Association of America's online Digital Classroom site offers no faint praise for this interactive set of tools, noting that "it is exciting, fast, and fully object-oriented". This is all true, and educators in both mathematics and the sciences can use this application to create their own customized, web-based learning aids. Developed by Doug Ensley of Shippensburg University and...

The Common Core establishes nationwide benchmarks for reading and math, and has so far been adopted by 43 states, the District of Columbia, four territories, and the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA). As the official site of the Common Core State Standards Initiative, there is much to offer here for K-12 educators, parents, and the generally curious. Sections of the site cover...

Most people might be aware that mathematics finds its way into a number of instructional programs and courses that are most decidedly not focused on this important discipline. Math is present in a wide range of courses, ranging from fashion design to sociology. Led by The American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) along with a number of community colleges (including Miami Dade...

Launched in 1985 and dedicated to the educational changes we must make before Halley's Comet next returns to our skies, Project 2061 is a long-term effort to reform "science, mathematics, and technology education for the 21st century." The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) developed several panels of Project 2061 scientists, mathematicians, and technologists to redefine...

The Show-Me Center is a partnership of four NSF-sponsored middle grades mathematics curriculum development Satellite Centers (University of Wisconsin, Michigan State University, University of Montana, and the Educational Development Center). The group's website provides "information and resources needed to support selection and implementation of standards-based middle grades mathematics...

Sponsored by the National Museum of American History, Teaching Math in America examines the evolution of math technology from the beginning of the nineteenth century through the end of the twentieth century. Divided into four sections, the site begins with the Early Republic, which explores the years between 1800 to 1860 when American children were using slates to write down their work. The second...

The Hub is an Internetworked resource for mathematics and science education whose goal is to transform the technological potential of recent developments in telecommunications into services of value to educational policy-makers, administrators, educators and students in the Northeast and the islands. The Hub provides services that can help to publish curricula, projects in progress, requests for...

The Scout Report doesn't usually review three-minute videos, but this one from Vox is worth it. First, because the video itself explains in sharp detail the seemingly incomprehensible pedagogy behind the "new math" that the Common Core utilizes to help students draw logical conclusions about the underlying principles of mathematics. And second, because the accompanying article, with its yellow...
