 Math Education

Links useful to math teachers include the Mathematics Association of America (MAA), the Chicago Metropolitan Mathematics Club, and the NCTM.  Also, especially for those of us from Illinois, the ICTM.

Interesting mathematical links generally include the Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, the Geometry Junkyard, a site full of mathematicians’ biographies, and the Optimal Golomb Ruler search page.  See also my page on Math Recreations.

I’m a math and computer science teacher, certified in Illinois at the high school level.  This section is for sharing resources with other math teachers (and anyone with an interest in math).

Here is a modest collection of teaching resources I’m putting on the web -- I hope it will grow over the years:  Math Dollars (useful for all courses), Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Math Team

I have had two letters printed in Mathematics Teacher.

The November 1999 issue of GAMES magazine contained a story/article of mine on “numerology” (of Martin Gardner’s variety).  After writing it I began compiling a list of mathematical fiction., which is continually growing -- I have more on my shelf that has to be typed in, and would appreciate any pointers from readers to more titles.
