Dragonfly Web
Pages
Dragonfly is an inquiry-driven magazine
published bimonthly during the school
year, inspiring children to join with
their peers and with scientists in
national and international
investigations. Dragonfly also publishes
poetry, autobiographies, natural history
essays, humor, artwork, and other

Blue Chip Mathematics Sites
With calculators, credit cards, and
electronic transfers, it's tough for
students to visualize the many ways
in which math is used in daily life.
Balancing a checkbook, creating a
budget, planning for retirement, and
paying taxes are distant realities.
How do we instill in students the
important mathematical concepts that
will help them now and later in
life?
Bubble
Geometry
Have you ever wondered whether you
can blow square bubbles? Using

experimentation at these Websites.
Let's Make a
Deal Math
"Heads, you go first; tails, I do."
"I need to roll a seven to win." "If
I can spin and land on a green slot
the jackpot is mine." How many times
have you played a game and hoped to
win? What is the probability of
winning? The purpose of this
WebQuest is to introduce you to some
interesting problems and learn about
probable outcomes. At the conclusion
of the WebQuest you will be able to
explain why some choices are better
than others.
M&Ms: In the

Mathematics is the study of the
measurement, properties, and
relationships of quantities and sets
using numbers and symbols. It is
also dazzling, magical, perplexing,
challenging, cool, awesome, and fun.
Research has shown that the
more-abstract concepts become more
concrete when modeled onscreen and
guided by teachers.

Project
Interactive
The goals of Project Interactive are
the creation, collection,
evaluation, and dissemination of
interactive java-based courseware
for exploration in science and
mathematics. At this interactive
site students can work with
tessellations (where the user
generates a polygon that will repeat
without overlapping across a plane.
Starting from a rectangle, triangle
or hexagon, the user bends the lines
of the polygon, creating a new
polygon. The user can choose several
different colors to enhance the
pattern, and can observe the
different effects that colors have
on tessellations), histograms (an
activity that allows the user to
view and make their own histograms),
fraction sorter (an excellent way to
learn about what fractions are and
practice with them in order to help
you understand the correlation
between their representation as
numerals and their value on the
number line), function flyer (an
activity that allows the user to
explore the effect of changing
constants in most types of functions
including: linear, quadratic,
exponential, trigonometric. The
applet allows the manipulation of a
function of the form y = f(x). Using
slider bars one can manipulate the
function to change the constant
values and view the effects of those
changes.). There are students
resources, teacher resources,
activities, lessons, etc.
