MATHEMATICS INTERNET SITES
(MASER)

   
Introduction

The internet sites found listed below are the result of work completed by teachers who attended the Generation II: MASER project during the 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 Summer Workshops. Workshop participants researched mathematics Internet sites using a set of developed evaluation criteria. A set of Internet learning activities for teachers and students were developed which correlated directly with State of Michigan Mathematics Standards and Benchmarks. The result is that teachers and students will be able to use the Internet resources as a learning tool which is fully integrated with their mathematics curriculums.

Listed in the tables found below are links to Internet sites organized under major mathematics curriculum areas:  Elementary Internet Sites; Middle School Internet Sites; High School Internet Sites

Each Internet site is listed under the Mathematics Benchmark that it meets.  At the beginning of each listed benchmark is a link to the online Mathematics MICLiMB document.  The MICLiMB document will provide you with an overview of the benchmark; a benchmark clarification; a classroom assessment example; a MEAP-like item; links to additional web-based resources; standard references and a listing of related benchmarks.

The General Mathematic Sites found in the table below are Internet sites that do not meet specific Mathematics benchmarks. Listed are numerous outstanding sites which contain resources that might be useful to teachers.  The Major Topics are: Mathematics Games and Student Activities; Mathematics Lesson Plans; Directories to Math Sites; Interactive Learning and Problem Solving Activities; and Word Searches and Puzzles.  The "general sites" table also contains links to mathematics media resources, multiple subject indexes, women and minorities issues, careers in mathematics, information about using Internet media resources and other general information.

Internet sites "New" to the disk this year are marked and sites found by participants to be "Outstanding" are also identified.

The Mathematics Internet Sites (IBM or Mac format) are available on CD-ROM at cost of materials and shipping (currently $5.00/disk).  For more information please call or email the Center.
