Online Math Resources link list updated

I have checked my online math resources pages for dead links (again). It's just inevitable, it seems, that some links go bad after a while. Anyway, hopefully it's all now working.

I am continually AMAZED at the wealth of interactive mathematics things that one can find on the internet. I compiled this list almost three years ago, and it has grown little by little ever since. The quality of many of these math activities or tutorials is just great. Various people have done a lot when publishing these interactive (or otherwise) math things online.

It's like you have a big collection of virtual manipulatives for about any math subject you can think of, at your fingertips!

I have divided my list into 9 different pages. Go and check; I'm sure you'll find something interesting to benefit your math teaching. I've concentrated on interactive tutorials and other interactive math activities but the list has other resources as well, such as tutorials and software.

Math Help and Tutoring

Math history, problem solving, and test preparation

Place value, basic operations, times tables, factoring etc. (elementary math)

Clock, money, measuring, and elementary geometry

Fractions, Decimals, Percent, Integers (middle school math)

Geometry, Measuring, Coordinate plane (middle school math)

Algebra, Graphing, Calculus

Geometry, Trigonometry, Statistics (high school math)

Sites with lots of math games and interactive activities

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing. I just found your blog in a math forum link. I teach algebra and pre-algebra. Do you know of any RSS feeds for math problems of the day or week?

Meaning of factors in multiplication: four groups of 2, or 4 taken two times?

Someone asked me about the interpretation or meaning of the two numbers in multiplication, such as 4 × 2. Do you view it as four groups of 2 , or as four, taken two times ? Here's their question: "...I noticed that your explanation about how to interpret a math phrase, such as 4 × 2, is different from how I have understood it and taught it to my older daughter who was using RightStart Math at this level. Let me explain:  I see that you are using the first factor to denote number of groups and the second factor tells how many are in each group (4 × 2 would be interpreted 4 groups of 2).  On the other hand, I have taught and thought of it reversed, with the first factor telling how many are in each group and the second factor telling you how many groups (4 × 2 would be 4 taken 2 times).  I know that the difference in explanations does not ultimately change the product, but I am wondering what you thoughts are.  When I conceptually picture what I'm doing I see i...

Geometric art project: seven-circle flower design

Image
I got inspired by the blogpost Art School | Geometric Design with Islamic Art where Deborah shows how to make a neat flower design with seven circles , using a compass, and then coloring it using 2, 3, or 4 colors (or however many of your own). I think it ties in neatly with mathematics, and lets students practice drawing circles with a compass.  My girls loved the art/math project. Here are pictures they made: Here are step-by-step instructions for the flower design: 1.  Draw a line and a circle so that the circle's center point is on the line. Then mark the points where this circle intersects the line. 2. Use those points as center points, and draw two more circles. The radius is the same all the time, so make sure you don't change it on your compass!We used 5 cm as the radius, and that made the whole design fit neatly on a regular letter size paper. 3. Now note the two points marked in the picture. They will be used as center points in the next...
