The University of Washington Education Group created this web site. The site contains links to research, curriculum development, and instructional. This education group believes in the circular relationship of research curriculum, and instruction. Student cognition (with references to technology) is the driving force behind their work.
Dickinson College Department of Physics created this web site. It includes links to their workshop material, instructor resources, and computer software. This workshop is based off of research that looks at student cognition. The goal of the workshops to create an interactive physics classroom.
This expansive web site contains many links to resources in mathematics. The links include resources in problem solving/reasoning, technologies, and tutorials. Many of the links are related to student cognition and ways to become more effective as a teacher.
This site includes information on forums, libraries, support, events, and the Academic Systems company. Academic Systems create interactive software for Mathematics and English. Each subject area is broken down into an exploration of approach, design, scope, learning, and teaching. The teacher can use this site to find various technologies for more effectively teaching.
This site has various resources including projects/lessons, links for teachers, computer applications, and web page support. Included in teacher links is a breakdown of grade level and subject area for further resources including technology. Included in secondary Mathematics are various forums, tutors, interactive resources, and integration ideas. This resource can serve as the starting point for a variety of issues related to student cognition.
This site includes many resources associated with technology in the classroom. Some of the many issues it explores includes: electronic portfolios, classroom management, computer - tools for learning, and class projects. This site examines ways to use computers effectively, to integrate subjects, to use the Internet, and more!
This web site contains information and resources for incorporating technology into the classroom. In addition to examining how technology elates to education standards, there are links to technology as it relates to spreadsheets, functions, modeling, graphics, assessment and more. In addition there are links to many other resources on the internet.
This extensive site explores resources for all grade levels. Included are math problems online, the history of mathematics, women in mathematics, online lesson plans, projects, activities, calculator usage, and more! In addition to general resources are links to specific technological online lessons.
This massive list of resources includes Applied Mathematics, Math Teaching, Math Education, Statistics, Mathematics References, Mathematics Gophers, Mathematics Discussion Groups, Mathematics Software and Programs, Mathematics Books and Publications, Mathematical Art and Graphics, and Miscellaneous Web Pages in Mathematics. Within this list is a variety of specific uses of technology in mathematics education.
This site was specifically developed to examine resources in mathematics classrooms. Included in the site are lesson plans, software, and a discussion of the future of technology in education. The five lesson plans use word processing, spreadsheets, simulation, the Internet and email as resources for teaching.
This resource was developed to explore was that cognitive computer tools can help students understand mathematics. The site summarizes their progress, evaluates their research, and makes notes on future ideas. The site also offers responses to their work as well as ways to further contact the research groups.
This resource has an extensive list of possible uses of technology as it relates to student cognition. The site includes lessons, tutorials, curriculum ideas, games, texts, contests, and more!
The Games and Puzzles section contains interactive simulations to some famously misunderstood problems. For example, the Lewis Carroll problem and the Monty Hall Dilemma.
Gives examples of misconceptions among commercial advertisements. How does a child interpret that the average family has 2.3 children. Some think since they are not full grown that they are the .3 child. Another "study" interviewed six men and when 4 out of 6 answered a certain way the company reported that 7 out of 10 men prefer ...
A collection of articles prepared for the MAA that discusses how examples can help eliminate misconceptions.
Dr. Math provides some great "proofs" with an error in them that leads to something obviously untrue. Like 1=2 for example. My favorite is "All People in Canada are the Same Age."
Author Alan M. Selby suggests that the name "greater than" is misleading. -3 > -5 would be clearer if we said -3 is more positive than -5. After all -5 has the greater magnitude.
The article refutes the following 5 myths.
NSF Awardee site developed by Marcia Linn. Object is to give a scaffolded learning environment in which students investigate many sites and discuss their findings. Contains a specific project (5 lessons) about the true nature of light. How far does light go?

If you want to see what other schools are doing, check this site. Many high school math departments have lots of valuable stuff for their students.
This site is maintained by Cornell's department of education to provide a resources for educators and students in grades 9-12. The Math section has a great supply in many areas of mathematics. It also provides a list of (free and commercial) math education software.
The Math Forum at Swarthmore is a must for every list of math education websites. It has a tremondous body of research articles, teacher mailing lists, newsgroups, Ask Dr. Math, etc.
This website is dedicated to helping teachers find appropriate material on the internet which can be integrated into curriculum. It introduces students and teachers who have successfully done this already. The site also provides a list of URLs to great web resources.
