In these web pages, teachers and students will find creative and interesting "hands-on" projects for most topics in the geometry curriculum. Each project is designed to help students understand, remember, and find value in the concepts of geometry. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84511 A collection of puzzles whose answers involve the Fibonacci numbers. The puzzles are of two types: easier and harder; the goal is to explain WHY the puzzles have their respective answers. A link to the page containing the harder puzzles is provided. This site is a sub-page of the larger site, Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Section. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=386927 Review notes over concepts. Videos as well. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84510 This site provides a comprehensive record of M.C. Escher's life, including links to approximately twenty images of his works of art as well as to a number of additional resources. Excellent presentation. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=239264 A history of the development of calendars throughout the ages. This exhibit is a public service of the Institute for Dynamic Educational Advancement (IDEA). http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=273979 This site contains reference material in Matrix Algebra. Topics covered include matrix operations, linear equations, determinants, eigenvectors and eigenvalues. S.O.S. Mathematics--Matrix Algebra is a part of an independent, commercial site that offers straightforward technical assistance primarily to high school and college students. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82036 This site can be used equally well for demonstration materials in lectures and for tutorial purposes. Topics range from basic algebra through first-year calculus. Solved exercises throughout make the site especially appropriate for individual study. Interactive elements are added using LiveMath and Macromedia Flash. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=349776 This is a complete set of videos for my on-line differential equations class. All standard topics are addressed: modeling, first order equations, constant coefficient linear equations, Euler and Runge Kutta methods, Laplace transforms, partial differential equations, series solutions and first order systems. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=469504 Share with your students why the presence of an outlier affects which measure of central tendency to report. Feel free to modify the presentation to fit the needs of your students. Included at the end are additional online resources to further engage your students in their learning about the mean, median, and mode.
