INTERACTIVE GAMES
http://www.maa.org/t_and_l/index.html - **FOR INSTRUCTORS ONLY**
THE MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA – Helping us think about how best to teach and
how students learn is an important part of the mission of the MAA. Their ―Teaching and Learning‖ section
provides useful and thoughtful articles about teaching mathematics. See current research in mathematics
education as well the ―Innovative Teacher Exchange‖ forum where you can share or contribute idea
http://www.qbyte.org/puzzles/
MATHEMATICAL PUZZLES - The math puzzles presented here are selected for the deceptive simplicity
of their statement, or the elegance of their solution. They range over geometry, probability, number
theory, algebra, calculus, trigonometry, and logic. All require a certain ingenuity, but usually only pre-
college math. Hints, answers, and fully worked solutions are provided, together with links to related
mathematical topics.
http://www.explorelearning.com/index.cfm?method=cResource.dspResourceCatalog
INTERACTIVE, VISUAL REPRESENTATIONS FOR BASIC MATH TO CALCULUS - Excellent site –
free 30 day trial. Great for instructors to use in classroom – reaches all types of learners.
SOLUTION GENERATORS – All Math Courses
At first glance, you may feel these solution generators just provide students with an opportunity
to ―cheat‖ on homework. If these sites are offered to students with a message such as…. ―shortterm gain = long-term loss‖…, students will understand that these sites have two purposes:
checking …. or seeing how to proceed if they reach an impasse. We all know that students cannot
achieve in math without having done and understood their homework.

complete them all. You have 15 seconds for each question, so be quick. (However, you can ask a friend
as often as you want.) When you succeed you start the main game.In the main game your questions get
more and more difficult as you go up. If you get stuck, you have two choices. You can go 50/50, or you
can ask the computer. If you ask the computer, you have a 75% chance it will be right. We will be adding
more questions each week from the Question of the Week database, so remember to come back later
and try the game with some new questions. GREAT GAME!
