Vodcasts are videos that the teacher creates for students to watch at home or in class to better understand concepts learned. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=436264 Algebra and Geometry shape and graph maker. Multi-use.Description by developer:GeoGebra is dynamic mathematics software for all levels of education that joins arithmetic, geometry, algebra and calculus. It offers multiple representations of objects in its graphics, algebra, and spreadsheet views that are all dynamically linked. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=449423 In this lesson, students use a 10 × 10 grid as a model for solving various types of percent problems. This model offers a means of representing the given information as well as suggesting different approaches for finding a solution. This lesson is adapted from "A Conceptual Model for Solving Percent Problems," which originally appeared in Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, Vol. 1, No. 1 (April 1994), pp. 20-25. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=450660 Interactive lessons that cover multiple Grade 6 standards from the Mathematics Framework for California Public Schools. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=427540 This activity uses a series of related arithmetic experiences to prompt students to generalize into more abstract ideas. In particular, students explore arithmetic statements leading to a result that is the factoring pattern for the difference of two squares. A geometric interpretation of the familiar formula is also included. This lesson plan was adapted from an article by David Slavit, which appeared in the February 2001 edition of Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=424855 PC-based software and interactive tutorial to learn how to write mathematical proofs. Makes use of innovative proof-checking technology to provide instant feedback to students/users. Free, full-version download available at website. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=641877 This pdf document is a Goal-Directed Instructional Design Plan for teaching a mathematics lesson on Using Measures of Central Tendencies. It can be used at the Middle School and/or High School levels. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=449433 In addition to seven familiar areas—number, geometry and measurement, algebra and functions, statistics and probability, discrete math, trigonometry, and calculus—there are three included that are less often identified as "areas" in the curriculum: topology; "math without math״; and logic, axiomatic systems, and foundations. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=449537 Solving linear equations is a cornerstone of Algebra and other higher level math classes. The skills involved are critically important to the students' confidence and success within high school mathematics. In this project, students develop a board game that help their peers review solving linear equations. This project requires internet access as the students will use various websites to collect sample problems of varying degrees of difficulty. The entire project should use about 230 minutes of instruction time. Adjust as needed. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=449407 Has a lot of text and definitions. Applets corresponding to the text is used to hep students visualize the concepts.
