Math+Resources

toc =__Exploratory Activity__= Below are two Math Lessons. Explore each lesson and discuss the following questions:
 * What technologies are being used in this lesson/activity? Are they appropriate for the goals/objectives of the lesson?
 * If I were a student, what would I enjoy about this technology infused lesson/activity? Would it engage me and why?
 * Could this lesson have been facilitated by a teacher with the same effectiveness if technology had not been used?
 * What are your general thoughts for improvement of the lesson?

__Geogebra__
Geogebrais a FREE dynamic geometry program. Their website includes activities that are premade, but you can also download the program and make your own activities that students can explore.
 * Here is an introductory video: [|Introduction to Geogebra]
 * Here are some files I have created before:
 * [[file:abs.ggb]]
 * [[file:candle1.ggb]][[file:candle2.ggb]]
 * [[file:circle.ggb]]
 * [[file:ellipse.ggb]]
 * [[file:Exponential.ggb]]
 * [[file:hyperbola.ggb]]
 * [[file:quadratic.ggb]]
 * [[file:Parallel and Perpendicular.ggb]]
 * [[file:Slope Intercept.ggb]]

__Henrico County Mathematics Pages__

 * Teachers of Henrico have worked since the inception of the 1:1 program in 2001 to create an online, sustainable curricula. These units include applets, Sketchpad Files, notes, online and offline assessments and worksheets, etc. @http://henricostaffdev.org/math/courses/

__Data Sets__
The resources listed below are collections of data sets especially organized for educational purposes. Explore one of them and identify topics in your curriculum that could be enhanced with the use and analysis of one of these data sets. There are many sources of rich data on the Web that are not already organized for educational purposes, but from which data can easily be downloaded and analyzed. These include:
 * A collection of data sets from the Math Forum
 * The Data and Story Library
 * The Census: includes special resources for teachers
 * EarthTrends: The Environmental Information Portal
 * Archive of datasets from Carnegie Mellon University Statistics Department
 * The Bureau of Labor Statistics
 * Various weather sites: includes a large set of links to weather data sites around the country.
