Victoria Miles's Mathematics Lessons
http://mathforum.org/te/exchange/hosted/miles/
Victoria Miles created these lessons to guide students'
mathematical discoveries by capturing their attention with
interactive programs or applets. The lessons, for grades 6-8,
are based on the Massachusetts State math standards, which are
based on the national (NCTM) standards.
Victoria shared these lessons with the Math Forum, and developed "Exploring Distance, Rate, and Time" while she was
taking one of our NSDL Online Workshops:

Many Eyes - IBM
http://manyeyes.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/
"Many Eyes is a bet on the power of human visual intelligence
to find patterns. Our goal is to 'democratize' visualization
and to enable a new social kind of data analysis...."
View and discuss visualizations, view and discuss data sets,
and create visualizations from existing data sets. Register for
more options, such as uploading your own data and participating
in discussions around the patterns that you see from exploring
data visually. Requires Java.
From the Visual Communication Lab of IBM's Collaborative User
Experience.
