10 links for Math

Math Blog Sites
This blog contains math cartoons and humor primarily.   I found most of the cartoons deal with higher levels of math.   There are tons of archived blog posts organized by date and topic.  You really get a feel about how geeky this teacher is—love it.

This blog approaches math as a hobby.  It has some historical perspectives including unsolved famous math problems.  It has contains many You-Tube videos.  A math major or enthusiast would find this to be a good site.

This blog is authored by a professor who comments on math problems and answers student questions.  I could see this as a good source for algebra students to get help with some of the most commonly asked questions in algebra including word problems. 
My favorite site for teacher education.  This is for teachers of grades K-14 and teacher educators.  It contains activities and video lessons of good teaching.  It is not only for math--it includes all subjects!
This site has alot about mathematical pedagogy. 
I use this site in my Math for Elementary Teachers classes.  This contains applets for math manipulatives.  Since the class offered online and students can't get the hands-on experience with manipulatives, this is the next best thing.
This is the site that all math students know about!  Type in a problem.  It solves it with all of the steps shown!  What is the job of the math class now?  A creative teacher could ask students what the program is doing...
This site is from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM).  It contains activities for the elementary/secondary teacher.  Since many of our students at the college are developmental, many activities can be adapted for the college student.
This is a fun site from a Harvard student who is musical and mathematical.  She is famous for her mathematical doodling.
This site is for math teachers in the two-year college.  It is our "professional" affiliation for community college math teachers.  Information about teaching at the college level and standards are found at this site.
