websites to help with math.

just found http://www.webmath.com/ which allows students to input a problem in and the website shows how to solve the problem step by step. This site, although in the UK has some nice little instructional sections for tutorial work. http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/websites/11_16/site/maths.shtml Doing research for my next class. I'll keep posting things here.

Teaching physics in the fal

found three websites with links for physics that i plan to investigate and use in class.
http://www.dmoz.org/Kids_and_Teens/School_Time/Science/Physics/ is a website with links for places that have virtual things which I can use for the classes.
http://www.internet4classrooms.com/physics.htm is another list of links for physics.
http://www.ph.utexas.edu/~phy-demo/resources/phys_applets.html

The next few sites have free info for thngs like using an amusement park to teach physics
http://www.docnmail.com/learnmore/physics.htm

http://www.ddart.net/science/physics/physics_tutorial/default.htm offers tutorials for a variety of topics and looks like I can use it while taking physics this summer.

This is enough. Over the next year I will be taking 14 credits of physics so i'll be highly qualified to teach it during the 2009-2010 year.

While looking for information on using Comic Life to teach mathematics, I stumbled across this website which talks about using newspapers in science, math, social studies and other core classes. This is really awesome. I think i can get some newspapers sent out for free from Anchorage and then I could integrate it into my math classes. That would be awesome. The kids need to see the more practical applications of mathematics.

Hippocampus

I've decided to continue with my blog even though the class is finished. This way I can record websites so I have a record of things I find and its accessible to all. I found Hippocampus which has some core topics. For Mathematics, this site has a lovely interactive video that contains the lecture while having an interactive activity during the lecture. It covers algebra I A, B and elementary algebra. This will be awesome to integrate into my classes because it will help reinforce student learning next year. The lecture has audio, visual and kinesthetic activities.
The URL is www.hippocampus.org
