AAA Math
Interactive math exercises. The site has tutorial type info, plus practice and games. Pages are cluttered with ads.
Glencoe Math eGlossary
A math glossary. The list of terms varies according to the selected grade level.
The Dilemma of the Dangerous Meatloaf
The Dilemma of the Dangerous Meat Loaf: Students investigate healthiness of meat loaf (or could be any food) and debate. Requires defining "healthiness", finding nutritional information, doing conversions, etc. Could be expanded to incorporate environmental footprint
Place Value Webquest
"A Creative Encounter of the Numerical Kind" -- students develop a base-4 number system. Not very open-ended. Middle school
Master of Arts in Mathematics Education Program
Although pricey, the courses in this program are attractive because (a) classes meet on 3 weekends a term, (b) CPS will assist with tuition (although I am not sure of the criteria), (c) you can work towards a Masters, and (d) if you are interested in teaching at the high school level, this will give you the necessary coursework.
OpenCourseWare
Although the site looks to be based in Taiwan, the video lectures are in English, and I like this one because it uses a Calculus text that I already own. The link is specifically to an intro Calculus course, but more courses are available from the site.
GeoGebra
Geogebra is a free application useful for exploring geometry and algebra concepts. The program is similar to the pricey Geometer's Sketchpad, except -- it's free.There is also an active international user community, including wiki, to help with ideas on how to incorporate the application into instruction. The app continues to grow -- it now has a spreadsheet component as well.
YouTube - mathematics
Among other things, YouTube is a great source of how-to videos and mini-lectures. Although CPS teachers can't access these (yet) in the classroom, they can provide a source at home of _how_ to (or in some cases, how _not_ to) talk about a topic. Also good for brushing up on math topics, or learning new skills. For free.
YouTube - khanacademy's Channel
700+ vids available on YouTube on a variety of topics. See the Khan Academy site for more on how these vids might be used.
Online Maths Resources
Cute, cartoony online math activities covering a wide range on math topics. A teacher could direct a student to a particular activity to practice at own pace on a particular skill.
Khan Academy
Free online tutorials. I like this one, because (a) it is okay for self-paced instruction and (b) it provides a way to track progress.
