Tools For Understanding
by knannFor the past seven years, Professor John Woodward and his colleagues at the University of Puget Sound have been creating materials for this unique site. Designed as a way to bring together resources to assist mathematics teachers at a variety of skill levels, the site is divided into four primary sections. The first stop for first-time users should definitely be the "Math Concepts" area. Here, educators can learn about how to introduce spreadsheets and data tables into the curriculum. Additionally, there are subsections within this area that provide detail-oriented plans on how to integrate prime numbers, functions, and fractions into lesson plans. Perhaps the true gem on this site is the section that discusses how math teachers can use journaling to get students thinking in different and creative ways about understanding various aspects of mathematics.

Le Active Math
by knannThe design and development of LeActiveMath learning content aims at advancing e-learning in high schools by following a sound constructivist pedagogical approach providing a learning experience tailored to the needs of the students. ActiveMath is an intelligent learning environement that adapts to your mastery level: It tries to estimate your current knowledge, among others depending on the exercises you solved, the texts you read, etc.This book is an introduction into differential calculus. Using a hiking tour as an example, we successively introduce the notions "difference quotient", "derivative", and "derivative function". Finally, the most important rules of differentiation are treated.
Note that some of the examples and exercises in this book are generated automatically, based on the data (fields of interest, state of knowledge, etc.) in your learner model. So every user gets his own individually adapted version of this book.
