GEM is a project of the U.S. Department of Education, and is located at the Information Institute of Syracuse at Syracuse University. You can browse lists organized by subject or keywords; search by subject, keyword, title, or grade level; and limit search results to materials that are free. When browsing by subject, the topics listed under mathematics are: - Algebra - Applied mathematics - Arithmetic - Calculus - Careers - Discrete mathematics - Functions - Geometry - History - Informal education - Instructional issues - Measurement - Number sense - Number theory - Patterns - Probability - Process skills - Statistics - Technology - Trigonometry -|-\-/-|-\-/-|-\-/-|-\-/-|-\-/-|-\-/-|-\-/-|-\-/-|-\-/-|-\-/-|- GLOBAL SUN TEMPERATURE PROJECT http://www.k12science.org/curriculum/tempproj3/en/ The Global Sun Temperature Project is an Internet-based multidisciplinary project. It gives students a chance to collaborate with other students and with experts online, in determining how their locations affect their average daily temperature and hours of sunlight. Students collect data at their own locations, publish their work on the project web site, and use project discussion boards to compare notes with other participants. Here are some important dates to remember: - Registration opened March 10 and closes May 9 - Project began March 31 and continues through May 9 - Conduct the experiment May 12 - 16 - Submit the temperature and sunlight data May 16 - 21 - Graph and analyze the results May 23 - June 13 - Final conclusion May 23 - June 13 Available also in Spanish: http://www.k12science.org/curriculum/tempproj3/es/index.shtml View other CIESE Online Classroom Projects: http://www.k12science.org/currichome.html -|-\-/-|-\-/-|-\-/-|-\-/-|-\-/-|-\-/-|-\-/-|-\-/-|-\-/-|-\-/-|- CHECK OUT OUR WEB SITE: The Math Forum http://mathforum.org/ Ask Dr. Math http://mathforum.org/dr.math/ Problems of the Week http://mathforum.org/pow/ Mathematics Library http://mathforum.org/library/ Teacher2Teacher http://mathforum.org/t2t/ Discussion Groups http://mathforum.org/discussions/ Join the Math Forum http://mathforum.org/join.forum.html Send comments to the Math Forum Internet Newsletter editors Donations http://deptapp.drexel.edu/ia/GOL/giftsonline1_MF.asp _o \o_ __| \ / |__ o _ o/ \o/ __|- __/ \__/o \o | o/ o/__/ /\ /| | \ \ / \ / \ /o\ / \ / \ / | / \ / \
