Nature by Numbers

This new video by Cristóbal Vila beautifully illustrates how mathematical properties, such as the Fibonacci Sequence, are all around us in the natural world. We loved this awe inspiring combination of mathematics, nature, and art!
 
Ker-Splash: Summer fun on Calculation Nation PDF Print E-mail

focalpoints

Take your students on a virtual field trip to the beach where they’ll discover algebra at one of Calculation Nation’s™ newest games. Ker-Splash forces students to practice combining like terms in algebraic expressions to free up space in their holding bin. Strategy comes into play as students apply power coins to the treasure chests to change the value of the variables. An understanding of coefficients and how they will affect the student's overall score is a key to winning the game. Other recent additions to Calculation Nation™, Dig It and Drop Zone, can serve to reinforce lessons on fractions. Get in the game today!
 
New "Dynamic Paper" from NCTM PDF Print E-mail
Need a pentagonal pyramid that's six inches tall? Or a number line that goes from ‑18 to 32 by 5's? Or a set of pattern blocks where all shapes have one-inch sides? You can create all those things and more with the Dynamic Paper application on NCTM’s Illuminations website. Create images of nets for 3-D shapes, tessellations of polygons, number grids with any number of rows, columns, and integers, spinners with various numbers of sectors, and more! Place the images you want, then export it as a PDF activity sheet for your students or as a JPEG image for use in other applications or on the web. Check it out! The possibilities are endless!
