ESSO FAMILY MATH
http://www.edu.uwo.ca/essofamilymath/index.asp
The Esso Family Math Project is a community-based program for
families that uses everyday materials and math games to help
children understand math ideas.
Concepts used in the real world such as measurement,
estimation and mental math are sometimes difficult for
children to grasp during structured classes. Esso Family
Math provides a means for parents to reinforce everyday
schooling while encouraging their children to have fun as
they learn.
Areas of the site include:
- What Is Family Math
- Parental Involvement
- Site Leaders
- Coordinators
- Family Math Resources
- Resources en Francais
- Materials Price List
- Family Math Book Lists
- Math Games & Puzzles
- Great Math Websites

STATBAG
http://www.statbag.com
Worth Swearingen, a statistics teacher at Aiken High School
in Aiken, South Carolina, manages Statbag, which he describes
as "a repository for high school statistics teachers."
"Statistics is generally presented with the real world as its
backdrop. It helps when statistics teachers have a broad
knowledge of subjects outside their primary discipline.
"To meet the contextual demands of the course, each teacher
should have a bag of tricks. Teachers spend years developing
their own favorites. While acknowledging that experience is
the best teacher, one purpose of this site is to help
teachers develop their own bag of tricks in less time. Its
second purpose is give experienced teachers a place to share
ideas."
Swearingen invites teachers to participate by uploading
tests, activities, and presentations to the file repository.
