Futures Channel
[] The Futures Channel was founded in 1999 with the goal of using new media technologies to create a channel between the scientists, engineers, explorers and visionaries who are shaping the future, and today’s learners who will one day succeed them.

The Futures Channel partners with schools around the US as well as a wide range of publishers, science centers, professional development service providers, public television stations, websites and more to provide high quality real world digital content to enhance their education offerings and objectives.

The Futures Channel Mission:
 * To produce and distribute high quality multimedia content which educators in any setting can use to enliven curriculum, engage students and otherwise enhance the learning experience.
 * To connect mathematics, science, technology and engineering to the real world of careers and achievement, providing a context and purpose for what students are learning, allowing them to envision their own successful futures.
 * To provide a channel through which professionals from the sciences, engineering and technology sectors can reach their future workforce prospects and interest them in their fields.

How the Website Works Each week we feature a selection of new movies and educator favorites on our website. Movies that are featured are available for two weeks. There are some movies that are available anytime due to their popularity online. You can find these by clicking on the "real world movie" categories. Available movies are listed at the top of the page.

Feedback from the Classroom Thousands of educators visit The Futures Channel every week to do show The Futures Channel's movies to their students in class. Click here to see what just a few educators have told us about the results : [| Students & STEM PDF]

Interactive Mathematics Miscellany and Puzzles
The manifesto of Interactive Mathematics Miscellany and Puzzles, an educational Web site created, developed, and maintained by Alex Bogomolny, states that "Learning starts from wondering, and… [a] purpose of this site is to serve as a resource for things, simple but curious, related to Mathematics." The site’s more than 700 Java applets are sure to engage kids in exploring the mysteries of math. Topics include arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, probability, fractals, visual illusions, and much more. Best for students in middle school and above.

MathActive
MathActive lessons are Flash animated math modules designed for grades K-12. Each module features content that touches on a Shape and Space idea. MathActive lessons were built around educator mathematical expertise and pedagogy. Using Backward Design, each module was created to target a specific geometry performance objective. From the educator-created lesson plan, students animated the lesson in Flash. Many of the modules are created with English, Spanish and Navajo narration. MathActive has been used for remediation, extension activities and the introduction of concepts. > //**Please choose your grade level:**// > [|K-2 MathActives] > [|3-4 MathActives] > [|5-6 MathActives] > [|7-8 MathActives] > [|9-12 MathActives]

Math Advantage
(K-8) The activities at this site were created to accompany specific chapters in Harcourt’s //Math Advantage// textbook series. The activities, however, relate to basic math concepts and can be used successfully with any Math program. Several activities are provided for each grade level -- K-8 -- and many, especially those for younger grades, are accompanied by audio directions, so reading skills are not necessary. Kids will enjoy practicing math skills with these fun activities.

Math Can Take You Places
(Grades 4-6) []

[]
(Middle School & Up) “What does this mean? When will I use this?” If you’re a math teacher, you’ve probably heard these questions before. We’re here to help you answer them. At Mathalicious, we believe that math isn’t something to learn, but a tool to learn about other things. Our mission is to help transform the way math is taught by providing you with the best, most meaningful and most relevant math content available. Our lessons are aligned to traditional state standards but, unlike most content, emphasize conceptual understanding through engaging real-world applications. What does this mean for you and your students? It means you can use linear equations to pick the right cell phone plan, and percents to get healthier. It means you can use proportions to compare the iPhone and the iPad, and explore whether the Olympics are fair. Our approach means that you as a teacher can foster real conversations, real learning about topics that students really care about. And best of all, Mathalicious means that math can be…fun again.

Math Cats
At this site, designed "to promote open-ended and playful explorations of important math concepts," students will have so much fun, they might not even notice they’re learning math. The site’s more than 100 activities include logic and math-story problems, probability experiments, arts and crafts, MicroWorld projects, and more. Students can explore shapes and patterns in the art gallery, design spirographs, manipulate animations, send in a story problems for publication and much more. The crafts section offers ideas and suggestions for students to explore geometry while making mobiles and ornaments Covered topics include addition, subtraction, place value, multiplication, division, conversions, measurement, estimation, probability, statistics, fractions, decimals, geometry, and more. An idea bank for parents and teachers offers even more lessons and activities submitted by teachers, and a free newsletter also is available.

Math Magic
Math Magic is a web site devoted to original mathematical recreations. If you have a math puzzle, discovery, or observation, please e-mail me about it. You can also send answers to the problem of the month.

[|Math Snacks]
Math Snacks are short animations and mini-games designed to present mathematics in a very different way. In fact, we hope these snacks don't look like traditional math at all. Math Snacks give students, especially those who don't particularly like math, another way to look at math concepts.

Random.org
What's this fuss about //true// randomness? Perhaps you have wondered how predictable machines like computers can generate randomness. In reality, most random numbers used in computer programs are //pseudo-random//, which means they are a generated in a predictable fashion using a mathematical formula. This is fine for many purposes, but it may not be random in the way you expect if you're used to dice rolls and lottery drawings. RANDOM.ORG offers //true// random numbers to anyone on the Internet. The randomness comes from atmospheric noise, which for many purposes is better than the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs. People use RANDOM.ORG for holding drawings, lotteries and sweepstakes, to drive games and gambling sites, for scientific applications and for art and music. The service has existed since 1998 and was built and is being operated by [|Mads Haahr] of the [|School of Computer Science and Statistics] at [|Trinity College, Dublin] in Ireland. As of today, RANDOM.ORG has generated [|937.7 billion random bits] for the Internet community.
