Many dozens of practice problems are provided in Precalculus, Calculus I - III, Linear Algebra, Number Theory, and Abstract Algebra. The last two subject areas -- referred to as "books" on the site -- are under construction. To each topic within a book (for example, Epsilon and Delta within Calculus I) there is a "module" of approximately 20 to 30 problems. Each module also includes a help page of background material. The modules are interactive to some extent and often provide suggestions when wrong answers are entered. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=363275 This site consists of examples, exercises, games, and other learning activities associated with the textbook, Discrete Mathematics: Mathematical Reasoning and Proof with Puzzles, Patterns and Games by Doug Ensley and Winston Crawley. Requires Adobe Flash player. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=89086 Web assignment on the relationship between the moment-of-inertia of an Atwood machine pulley and the motion of the hanging masses. Uses an embedded Java applet by Angel Franco Garcia for convenience. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=91318 The HOT Math! website is a resource website for maths teachers. The site presents ideas for hands-on tasks in the mathematics classroom (approx grade 8). ״Learning by doing" gives added value to our teaching. Students are motivated by hands-on tasks for various reasons. Hands-on tasks offer a change from the daily maths class work. They connect our subject to daily life, to other school subjects and to constructive discovering activities. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82397 A focus for research and curriculum development in mathematics teaching and learning with the aim of unifying and enhancing mathematical progress in schools and colleges. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=736308 'MathSquared is a prototype series of grid-based puzzles using basic math operations that help learners develop logical thinking and reasoning strategies. Puzzles have different levels of challenge and include embedded supports for solving, such as a Scratch Pad for recording information that supports problem solving and the option for immediate feedback on your progress.These puzzles were developed as part of the iSolveIt project at CAST (http://www.cast.org), an educational research & development organization that works to expand learning opportunities for all individuals through Universal Design for Learning (UDL). iSolveIt is a mobile digital learning environment that supports the development of logical thinking and reasoning skills, essential competencies for algebra and mathematics in general.'This is a free app http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=225696 Space Shuttle Launch is an interactive math game providing practice with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems. The game format is simple to use and fun to play (problems are presented on a simulated space station screen and answers are entered on a calculator/key pad. Feedback on accuracy is provided after each attempted problem). Users can select problems from each of the four basic operations (listed above) or select a random format that delivers a mix of all four. Users can also choose between levels of difficulty based on their individual level of ability. This game would be an excellent resource for advanced users to test their proficiency and novice users to practice these operations in order to develop their emerging mathematical competencies. This game is just one in a collection of games provided by Playkidsgames.com designed to provide content support in a fun and engaging way.  http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=89107 A group of drill exercises with tutorials for General Chemistry ranging from Review of Mathematical Skills to Problems on Solubility Product Constants. Several MiniLessons and Simulations are also included. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=574340 This Stand Alone Informational Resource was created for first grade students in the area of math. More specifically, students will practice identifying and adding coins (penny, nickel, dime, and quarter). A coin song and game have been included in this resource, and can be completed independently by the students. The beginning of the resource provides a basic overview of coins, assuming that a previous lesson has been taught on coins and their values. To complete the activities, students will need paper and a pencil, pretend money, and access to a computer and the internet. Michigan Grade Level Content Expectations are listed upon completion of the StAIR. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84152 This website can be used by teachers or students in utilizing dense information with assesments. This exercise is designed for anyone who wants an introduction or review of the fundamentals of chemistry that will be used in freshman level chemistry classes. The goal of the program is to provide an introduction or a review to incoming freshman chemistry students on the basic mathematical skills that are required to be successful in freshman chemistry. In addition, the materials last year worked to introduce or review basic skills in the use of a calculator.
