Mathematics Benchmarks, Grades K-12
http://www.utdanacenter.org/k12mathbenchmarks/
The American Diploma Project benchmarks for K-12 detail the
content and skills students need to master throughout their
schooling, and which they need for success in post-secondary
education and the workplace. Model course sequences and
sample tasks help educators see how the benchmarks can be
implemented in mathematics classrooms.
Developed by the Charles A. Dana Center at the University of
Texas at Austin, in partnership with Achieve, Inc.
Discovering Polygons and Polyhedra
http://internal.maths.adelaide.edu.au/people/pscott/polyhedra/
A page designed to encourage interactive exploration of
polygons and polyhedra, and appreciation of their beauty. The
site contains diagrams and applets, and invites readers to
explore and find answers for themselves.
Site by Paul Scott; applets by Bob Allanson.
Math Applets for Calculus at SLU
http://www.slu.edu/classes/maymk/MathApplets-SLU.html
Mike May, S.J., of Saint Louis University presents this
collection of Java applets covering many of the standard topics
in the calculus sequence. Some include sample worksheets and
discussion topics. The most viewed applets look at Riemann
sums, families of functions, and constructing surfaces by cross
sections.
May also offers a collection of applets for topics below
college-level calculus:
