Best science and math sites for educators

November 16, 2006 8:44 AM

Science and math educators, K-12 and college! What are your favourite science and math sites that you use for planning lessons and curricula, or for classroom use? And why? Thanks!

I'm trying to put together a list of links of Really Useful Sites for a (government-funded) science/math education portal.

I used to use that a lot, but now it seems you have to pay.

I used puzzlemaker.com to make word searches or crossword puzzles for math vocab, etc.

Many individual textbook websites have good demos or extra problems-- McDougal Littell and Glencoe/McGraw Hill to name two.

And I second the single-sex education. I've taught in a girls' school and I've taught co-ed. You would not believe the difference, especially in junior highers.
