Mathematics Teachers In The Classroom Term Paper

The Journal of Online Mathematics and its Applications (http://mathdl.maa.org/mathDL/4/)includesdiscussion of how to teach math to students, such as the use of 'spinners' when teaching probability, to cite one example, and webcasts about 'best practices' in math education. Because the journal is web-based and makes use of wiki technology, it is both easy to access as well as engaging.

Education Next, published by the Hoover Institution, provides a continuing overview of how American education, including math, measures up against America's international counterparts as well as compares different approaches to education throughout the nation (http://www.hoover.org/publications/ednext/).Itprovides examples of how math is taught in other countries, sobering assessment of America's state of math education, and a fairly blunt and opinionated view of what works and what does not in the classroom.

Its aim is to facilitate information exchanges and enhance professional contacts, particularly the use of the Internet such as webquests and WebPages in the classroom.
The University of Chicago School Mathematics Project (UCSMP) (http://social-sciences.uchicago.edu/ucsmp/index.html) providesresources for student evaluation and professional development, and even includes the ability to access translations of international materials from nations such as Russia. It also provides information about professional associations and journals, and is dedicated to the cause of mathematical improvement.

The University of Central Florida provides a Math Guide, with a variety of links to hands-on materials about math, including crafts (like making a looped Moebius strip), lesson plans, and professional development website. (http://www.useekufind.com/learningquest/tmath.htm).
