Math Websites--found by students in the Fall 2002 semester

Here are some Mega Math Sites to use to begin your search:
I've been going through the NCTM website < http://www.nctm.org >
looking for references to the Standards (there's a lot of good stuff at this site) and I came across another wonderful
site within NCTM.
It's the Illuminations site and it has lots of examples of activities for just about everything you could wish
to teach in mathematics. I suggest you explore the site. http://illuminations.nctm.org/index2.html
There's stuff on roller coasters, combinations, ...
Another great mega site is Math Forum found at http://www.mathforum.org and
the Pac Bell site at http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/bluewebn/
Don't forget our own Math Central at http://mathcentral.uregina.ca and our very own mathed searchable database at http://dev.www.uregina.ca/mathed
Object factory at
http://www.schoolnet.ca/vp-pv/amof/index.html
NCTM and NCMT Illuminations, Math Forum, Math Central, the Mathed database, and Pac Bell and general searches on Google < http://www.google.ca > should provide you with a lot of information. You still may need the odd article or book or library reference help.
Some other great mega sites are:
Mathematics and Computer Science Hotlist at http://sln.fi.edu/tfi/hotlists/math.html
Websites for Little People--all subjects at http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/fil/pages/listprimaryjm.html
Math Forum links at http://mathforum.org/library/levels/p/ for Pre-K-grade 2 and http://mathforum.org/library/levels/elem1/ for grades 3-5 and a general link for primary children at http://mathforum.org/varnelle/index.html and Murray--a link for you for thousands of sites at http://mathforum.org/library/levels/middle/
To help you locate some resources for your questions I have basically explored the above sites. As I have time I will continue to do this, but you also need to do some exploring. Don't rely on me to find all your resources for you.
Here's an interesting site for children--and for all of us. http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/KidsClick!/
Another large site that seems to have potential for a number of your questions is Math Cats at http://www.mathcats.com/
Also, don't forget the Eric Database for journal articles and online fulltext articles. Go to http://ericir.syr.edu/Eric/ and enter your search item to get some journal article titles.
