Website for Math Articles


This is an interesting website because it provides access to many articles from teachers who have found many different ways of implementing technology into their classrooms.  This article also describes the different tools that can be used such as Excel and the TI-Nspire in order to introduce new mathematical topics.  Many of the articles are about the different technologies they can use to model and graph many different functions and geometric shapes.  The best part about the website is that even though you have to subscribe to the website, the subscription is free!  There is even an article that talks about aids for building proofs, which I feel, is an area that students usually struggle with in math.  Beyond building proofs there are articles that discuss how to discover theorems.  Mathematical theorems are often hard for students to understand, but if they are working to discover them on their own they will have a better grasp on the concepts.  Theorems are important because with the use of different theorems we can prove new mathematical concepts and have our students becoming real mathematicians.
