Education Index

An annotated guide to the best education-related sites on the Web. These sites are sorted by subject and lifestage.

The Geometry Center

The Geometry Center is a mathematics research and education center at the University of Minnesota. It is funded by the National Science Foundation as part of the Science and Technology Center program. The Center has a unified mathematics computing environment supporting math and computer science research, mathematical visualization, software development, application development, video animation production, and K-16 math education.

INTEC

INTEC (International Netcourse Teacher Enhancement Coalition) is an online professional development course that introduces inquiry-based teaching and learning to mathematics and science classrooms. The goal of the course is to support teachers directly in implementing the use of student investigations in mathematics and science at the middle and high school levels by offering a set of network-based high quality netcourses linking participants with exemplary National Science Foundation curriculum development efforts.

Math Forum Teachers' Place

A web site designed to assemble the best resources for teaching math at all levels. This site is not only for teachers, but has also been built in part by teachers.

PBS Mathline

PBS Mathline is a teacher resource service of public television utilizing the power of telecommunications to provide quality resources and services to teachers of mathematics grades, K-12. Using a blend of technologies including online communications and video, Mathline brings the most recent advances in instructional techniques to teachers across the country.

PUMAS (Practical Uses of Math And Science)

PUMAS is a collection of one-page examples of how math and science topics taught in K-12 classes can be used in interesting settings, including everyday life. The examples are written primarily by scientists and engineers, and are available to teachers, students and other interested parties. The site is intended to capture, for the benefit of pre-college education, the flavor of the vast experience that working scientists have with interesting and practical uses of math and science. PUMAS is produced and maintained at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) / California Institute of Technology, under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Teachers' Lab

The Teachers' Lab is a web site where teachers and educators can experiment with new ideas in learning and identify activities they can use in the classroom. Working in the Teachers' Lab, educators can develop a deeper understanding of math and science concepts they have been teaching for years or are just introducing to their students for the first time. The Labs are based upon professional development series and workshops broadcast on the Annenberg/CPB Channel. Each Lab combines online activities with background information and interactive polls or worksheets participants can use in their classrooms, plus links to related Web sites.

WebMath

WebMath is an Internet based math problem solver, equipped with an online "math-engine" that can instantly provide a user with an answer to the particular math problem the user may be working on. Java-based animations are used to take the user step by step through the various solutions.
