                      PROBLEMS WITH A POINT

            http://www2.edc.org/mathproblems/default.asp

  This site provides a resource for teachers who use, or are 
  beginning to use, a problem-centered approach. Problems are 
  classified by:
 
    - topic
    - time required
    - suggested technology
    - required mathematical background
    - habits of mind that students develop or use as they work

  Synopses of the problems are keyword searchable. Answers and 
  solutions are provided, and many problems include hints.

      ENC FOCUS MAGAZINE - Eisenhower National Clearinghouse

                 http://www.enc.org/focus/

  The latest issue, New Horizons in Mathematics and Science 
  Education, features articles that address the pervasive 
  need for improvement in K-12 mathematics and science education. 

  The Communication Revolution, an article by Susan Boone, 
  describes her experience as a participant in the Math 
  Forum's Bridging Research and Practice project.

           Bridging Research and Practice (BRAP)

                http://mathforum.org/brap/

  The Math Forum's Bridging Research and Practice Group 
  consists of middle school and high school math teachers and 
  Math Forum staff who shared videotapes of their classrooms, 
  talked about their teaching, read research articles and 
  chapters, and reflected on their implications for practice. 
  The videopaper "Encouraging Mathematical Thinking Discourse 
  around a Rich Problem" presents the group's working knowledge 
  about how teachers engage students in mathematical thinking, 
  and why this is important.
