Math.com: A World of Math Online
No full text"Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics, I assure you that mine are greater." Einstein, Albert (1879-1955). If you are not Einstein, or are actually having difficulties with mathematics, let this website help. The page contains a wealth of online math resources. Some of these include: basic math, everyday math, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, calculus, advanced topics, and math tutoring
Computer Language Engineering
No full textThis course analyzes issues associated with the implementation of high-level programming languages. Topics covered include: fundamental concepts, functions, structures of compilers, basic program optimization techniques, the interaction of theory and practice, and using tools in building software. The course features a multi-person project on design and implementation of a compiler that is written in Java® and generates MIPS executable machine code
Shodor Educational Foundation: A National Resource for Computational Science Education
No full textThere are many curriculum materials, professional development, and student enrichment activities available in this website. These resources are designed for teachers and students ranging from K-12 through higher education. Most resources are interactive and engage the students on many different levels; the website lists their mission statement for interactivity as: "the creation, collection, evaluation, and dissemination of interactive Java-based course ware for the exploration of science and mathematics." Overall, the website is a valuable resource for any science or math classroom
Inquiry Strategies for the Journey North Teacher
No full textIn an inquiry-oriented classroom, the teacher is a co-explorer and guide who cultivates curiosity and challenges students to think and act like scientists as they explore intriguing questions. It takes time, practice, and sometimes, a shift in teaching strategies, to create a classroom where inquiry can flourish. Explicit strategies should help both novice and experienced teachers create a climate for inquiry, support productive discussions, generate questions, plan investigations and gather data, guide consideration of evidence, and critically review research reports. Established in 1991 with a grant from the Annenberg Foundation to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the Project uses media and communications to improve math and science education
Circuitry Snacks
No full textThis is arguably the tastiest way to design and learn about electronic circuits: make circuitry snacks! Two of Evil Mad Scientist favorite things in the world are playing with electronics and playing with food, and so it is about time that someone finally got around to combining the two. We begin by gathering up appropriate snack-food building blocks and making food-based models of electronic components. From these components, you can assemble "circuitry snacks"-- edible models of functioning electronic circuits. You can make these for fun, for dessert, for your geek friends, for kids, and for teaching and learning electronics. This is a great student project
