Math and science are beautifully intertwined. No surprise, I have a great appreciation for many things STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) related. The University of Cambridge NRICH is a wonderful resource for math and STEM activities. There are elementary and secondary offerings for both students and teachers. Curious, I clicked the lower level secondary link and followed the STEM link at the top of the page. This led to some interesting math based STEM activities under the Living World and Physical World. I especially enjoyed exploring the genetics option.
Alcumus is another site that caught my attention in the online world of mathematics. If you are familiar with Math Counts, Math Counts Minis are available here. Students can compete with other students through AoPS for the Win, FTW! FTW! encourages students development of skills for middle school level math competitions. Students can also take advantage of the adaptive curriculum that chooses questions based on the students previous performance. There is quite the selection of short math videos. If one prefers, there are math and programming courses that may be paid for as well.
Happy calculating,
Mrs. A
