NCTM continues to develop a variety of interactive materials available free of charge to families, teachers and students. The new Family Resources is a great addition to their website. The service provided is a wonderful support to our efforts in the classroom.
NCTM Family Resources: This new web resource from NCTM has a multitude of well organized links to interactive materials. It has sections for Elementary School, Middle School, High School, and Higher Educations as well as links to individual lessons. This site is designed for family use.

Cyberchase: This is a really great site for Parents and Teachers that gives users ways to think about math and get across the idea that math is everywhere. It’s a place to find out how to guide students to learn and have fun with math. There are activities, hands-on learning experiments, slide shows, the TV schedule of Cyberchase, and many other features. Web games teach many “big ideas” in science and math.

Math Cats: Math Cats features creative, open-ended math explorations. This site is really fun for the younger set. The magic chalkboard is delightful. Letters dance around the black board and when you move the mouse over them the answers to the puzzling questions appear.
Figure This: This site, sponsored by NCTM, contains interesting challenges for students of all ages. The “Take a Challenge” explorations encourage students to experiment with manipulatives to find the answers. Each challenge also helps students see how the same answer can be found with math.
