Cool Math 4 Kids
Cool Math 4 Kids describes itself as "an amusement park of math and more". It's full of fun games and lessons.
Maths Challenge
This site has a ton of interesting problems to work on, ranked by difficulty. This was where Project Euler got its start, before it moved to a separate site.
Project Euler
"Project Euler is a series of challenging mathematical/computer programming problems that will require more than just mathematical insights to solve. Although mathematics will help you arrive at elegant and efficient methods, the use of a computer and programming skills will be required to solve most problems."
The Euler Archive
From the site: "The Euler Archive is an online resource for Leonhard Euler's original works and modern Euler scholarship. This dynamic library and database provides summaries of and access to digitized versions of original publications, and references to available translations and current research."
Here comes the Gauss-Klub!
I'm very excited that the Nelson Mandela School management has approved my proposal for the Gauss-Klub, a math AG (that's German-school-speak for "extracurricular club") that I'll be running starting this fall. I want to put together some funny flyers, maybe videos, to publicize the club. This is my first attempt at a picture that might figure into some of those materials.
I'm going to post links of interest here in this Kurly-Murly project, and I'll also blog about what we're doing.
DreamBox
DreamBox is a commercial site, but it's worth checking out. Thoughtfully produced games are woven into a self-paced system for learning math, through (what they consider to be) 3rd grade.
Khan Academy
The Khan Academy is a free site where you can watch hundreds of videos about many topics, including math, chemistry, economics and history. The most exciting feature of the site is the "Knowledge Map", which lets you work your way through a math curriculum and earn points and badges as you master topics. The Khan Academy is excellent for self-paced learning.
AG Proposal
This is the proposal that was approved by the Nelson Mandela management.
