"The best aspect of the Internet has nothing to do with technology. It's us." Steven Levy If 1995 was The "Year of the Internet" (Newsweek, Jan. 1, 1996), for educators it is quickly becoming the era of information-on-demand and collaboration-at-a-distance. Among the Internet's many resources is the World Wide Web, a global network of information "servers" provided by individuals, organizations, businesses, and federal agencies who are offering documents, data, images, and interactive sessions. For teachers, students, and parents, this means access to information not in textbooks or the local library, fast-breaking news, ideas for lessons and activities, and, best of all, collaboration with others on projects of mutual interest. Here we provide an annotated listing of Web resources relating to mathematics education. Though not an exhaustive list of what is available, these sites represent the range of resources, and they are excellent places to begin your own journey through the web of interconnected sites.

Extractions: A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n About teaching mathematics: K-8 (ENC-008504) The goal of this book is to help educators implement mathematics instruction that develops students who feel mathematically secure, use numbers confidently to come to decisions, understand mathematical principles, and can apply their understanding to problem solving situations. The three parts of the book address basic math education topics, 200 classroom problem solving activities, and the changing nature of mathematics instruction. Amazing facts and real problems (ENC-001290) These sets of cards are a collection of reading and mathematics experiences that challenge students to use mathematics to solve real life problems. Topics come from the physical and natural sciences; history, government, and geography; architecture; the fine arts; entertainment; and sports. There is a paragraph of information about each topic which is then followed by a challenge problem. To solve the problem, students must obtain data from the paragraph and decide upon a solution strategy. Critical thinking activities for mathematics. Book 3 (ENC-004351)

Extractions: By Russell Smith In our last look at math software several years ago (September 1997), companies had for the most part finally finished the bumpy transition from floppy versions to the CD-ROM format. Users still faced a rough and varied assortment of installation options and multimedia players, and the material was supplementary to the regular math classroom curriculum. Today, math programs still exhibit those nagging characteristics although, at least on the PC side, most publishers have finally discarded the 16-bit Windows 3.1 versions in favor of 32-bit Windows 9X versions and have adopted high-color video as the de facto color standard instead of the ubiquitous 256 color mode. A few programs shine above the rest to earn a highlighted spot in this issue's review. I Love Math

How many ways are there to make change for $1 using unlimited numbers of coins of all denominations? Each way is a combinatorial object. AMOF is part encyclopedia and part calculator, a teaching tool that generates mathematical permutations for such combinatorial objects as subsets and combinations, partitions, magic squares, and Fibonacci sequences by allowing the user to define the parameters of discrete objects. The Object Factory returns a list of all objects that satisfy those parameters.
