The Futures Channel
http://www.thefutureschannel.com/
The Futures Channel was founded in 1999 with the goal of using
new media technologies to create a channel between the
scientists, engineers, explorers and visionaries who are
shaping the future, and today's learners who will one day
succeed them.
Futures Channel videos feature real-world math, science, and
technology experiences, designed to motivate students in the
study of those disciplines and introduce them to future career
possibilities. The Channel offers related lessons for
teachers, and videos on Jaime Escalante and Kay Toliver.
Some videos are free. Support the Futures Channel by purchasing
a subscription to the new Defined STEM package of videos and
lessons, including standards correlations and collaborative
features; access to the year's top-rated videos; and packages
of videos and lessons.
Why It Is Important to Learn Algebra
This PDF document is a parent/student guide explaining why
Algebra I is a required subject, how it helps prepare students
for the future, how Algebra I fits into the student's high
school math program, and what parents can do to support their
student's success in learning algebra. Geared to a California
audience, the ideas are applicable in other states as well.
This site has a two-question survey before you can see it. Fill
out the survey to enter the site, or click "Ask me later, enter
site" (next to the "submit" button) to skip it.
