The 2010 Census is fast approaching! Census questionnaires will
be mailed or delivered to every household in the United States
in March 2010.
Scholastic, Inc. is working with the Census Bureau to produce
lesson plans, maps, teaching guides, and other informational
materials to help teachers and students learn about the
importance of the Census. Access these materials for grades K
to 12 through either link above.
The Census Bureau site also has games and quizzes for kids, and
information for teens on real-world knowledge drawn from census
data.
Fractions, Ratios, Proportions
http://whyslopes.com/etc/fractions/
Since we last featured Alan Selby's site "Appetizers and
Lessons for Mathematics and Reason" in 2005, he has revised and
greatly expanded the section on fractions and ratios,
organizing it under these topics:
- Fractions
- Fractions with Units (arithmetic & algebra with units)
- Ratios and Fractions (or ratios versus fractions)
- Proportionality Relations Forwards and Backwards
- Links
For all of Selby's pages on high school mathematics and
calculus topics, see:
