Web-Based Mathematics Activities for the Early Years
*************************************************************
TI-84 Plus OS Update with MathPrint(TM)
Input and view math symbols and formulas, including stacked
fractions, exactly as they appear in textbooks. Students
entering your class this fall with a TI-84 Plus family
graphing calculator will have the latest OS, version 2.53MP
(with MathPrint). Download the new OS for free at
http://education.ti.com/us/download/84pos
**************************************************************
ProveIt! TWO-COLUMN PROOFS PRACTICE TOOL
http://feromax.com/cgi-bin/ProveIt.pl
Michael Ferraro of Balboa High School in San Francisco, CA,
created this tool for students to practice their two-column
proof skills. Choose a topic to begin, and choose statements
and reasons from the list given. As you go, there are options
to remove or move statements and reasons in previous lines.
Complete the proof and check it with the "QED?" button.

PEARSON MATH STATS
http://www.scribd.com/Pearson%20Math%20Stats
Pearson Learning brings you free activities for students to
use with Wolfram|Alpha. The questions teach input and command
syntax or reinforce answer interpretation or the concepts of
intermediate algebra.

WEB-BASED MATHEMATICS ACTIVITIES FOR THE EARLY YEARS
http://resources.educ.queensu.ca/early_years_math/
These materials are a translation of the Spanish materials
created by the Instituto de Informatica Educativa (IIE),
Universidad de la Frontera, Temuco, Chile. The first and
second units have been translated into English, and the
third unit is available in Spanish through this Queen's
University site.
The units offer modeling, practice, assessment, and student
and teacher guides for each topic:
- Solving Addition Problems
- Counting and Numbers
- Geometry in Our World
The English translation was made by Queen's University, Canada,
through a grant from Microsoft. IIE's original versions, in
Spanish, can now be found via
http://mathforum.org/redirects/iie.html
