Spring into Math with Tetrahedral Kites
Spring is right around the corner! Build, explore, and develop relationships
between area and volume with Tetrahedral Kites. Each student constructs a
tetrahedron and describes the linear, area, and volume measurements,
using non-traditional units of measure. Be sure to e-mail Illuminations
pictures of all your classroom fun!
Algebraic Thinking and Reasoning
Two new NCTM Research Briefs explore algebraic thinking and reasoning.
Algebraic Thinking in Arithmetic explores research on three ways in which K–
8 mathematics can be transformed and extended toward algebraic thinking.
Algebraic Reasoning in School Algebra examines algebraic reasoning in
secondary school mathematics. Algebra problem solving, conjecturing, and
proving are discussed in light of current classroom research.
Calculation Nation
Have you played all 12 Calculation Nation games yet? Play games while
learning math! And don’t forget about the supplementary lesson plans,
designed to optimize the learning in your classroom.

Interested in integers? Fascinated by fractals? The MIT
OpenCourseWare Mathematics website
(http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/) can assist you with your quest
for knowledge where visitors have access to all of the materials this
institution has contributed over the past few years. Users will note that there
are over four dozen courses here, complete with syllabi, lecture notes, and
even in some cases video lectures and other audio visual materials. Browse
through the Featured Courses to learn about some of the most recent
offerings, which include, "Nonlinear Dynamics I: Chaos" and "Category
Theory for Scientists.” Additionally, users can sign up to receive updates
when new materials are added to the site.
