Once visitors are in the main site, they will get the opportunity to learn about statistics through the lens of a mock election. The site contains areas such as "How Random is...

Many students arriving at college may find that they have forgotten some of the basic skills required to learn various mathematical concepts. Some educational researchers and mathematicians of note have commented that learning math is more than a bit like learning a new language. Keeping that in mind, this site provided by the mathematics department at St. Louis University may be useful for both...

The TeachEngineering website is a resource for teachers who seek to make engineering concepts come to life for students in grades K-12. It is also worth nothing that some of the resources are appropriate for college-level students. Funded with money from the National Science Foundation, a team of university researchers worked to create a searchable web-based digital library of free and accessible...

This interesting resource comes courtesy of the "Loci" project at the MathDL initiative, and it is part of the "Original Sources" series. Math scholars Dominic Klyve, Lee Stemkoski, and Erik Tou have created this helpful educational resource for fellow mathematics educators who might be interested in using primary documents from the Euler Archive. The Euler Archive was created by the folks at the...
