=[|Show Me Center]=
 * This website will provide information and direct links to the exemplary middle school math programs via the Show-Me Center's website. The programs include the Connected Mathematics (CMP 6-8), Mathematics in Context (MIC 5-8), MathScape (6-8), Middle School Mathematics Through Applications Project (MMAP 6-8), Middle Grades Math Thematics (STEM 6-8).

=[|NCTM's e Examples]=  =[|The Math Forum: The Teacher's Exchange for grades 6-8]=
 * =Online activities to illuminate the NCTM’s //Principles and Standards for School Mathematics.// =
 * Along with the NCTM sites, this may contain some of the most important source of information and links to useful sites. The forum has resources (Math Tools) for both teachers and students. There are suggestions for lessons, puzzles, and activities, plus links to other sites with similar information. There are forums where teachers can talk with other teachers. Two pages accept questions about mathematics from students or teachers (Ask Dr. Math) and about teaching mathematics from teachers (Teacher 2 Teacher). Problems are regularly posted, and solutions can be entered via the Internet.

=[|Illuminations: This is an incredible web site established by NCTM.]=
 * This is an incredible site developed by NCTM to provide Internet resources for teaching and learning intended to “illuminate” //Principles and Standards for School Mathematics.// You can find resources from lesson ideas to “math-lets” (applets designed to provide tools for developing understanding in mathematics). Also at this site are multimedia investigations for students and links to video vignettes designed to promote professional reflection. The Illuminations website continues to be updated with the addition of many new lessons. In addition the Illuminations Game Room Project allows students to explore mathematics topics while playing mathematics games with one another over the Web.

=[|Interactive: Shodor Education Foundation]=
 * The site contains a huge list of applets that continues to grow. In addition, there are lessons and activities. Applets (referred to as “activities”) are arranged by content rather than grade level, so be sure to look through the full list. This is a valuable site, especially for teachers in the upper grades and middle school.

=[|Annenberg Media Learner.org]=
 * A unit of the Annenberg Foundation, Annenberg/CPB offers professional development information and useful information for teachers who want to learn about and teach mathematics.

=[|ENC Online(Eisenhower National Clearinghouse]=
 * The ENC site is full of useful information for teachers who are planning lessons and activities or searching for professional development resources.

=[|Teachers.net]= = = =[|Activities in Mathematics and Science(AIMS)]=
 * =This website contains many different kinds of resources for teachers including lesson plans, chat rooms and curriculum resources. =
 * A non-profit organization that provides resources for mathematics and science teaching.

 * ==This is a great collection of lessons for teaching through problem solving. ==

[|Thinkmathematics.com]

 * **Our Mission** - thinkmathematics.com is designed for teachers of mathematics around the English speaking (for the moment)world. As experienced teachers of mathematics we recognise the need to constantly review, inform and improve our practice. As such it has become our mission to develop rich ideas, activities and resources designed to promote mathematical thinking and engagement. The contents of this website are the fruits of this process. We would not pretend or aspire to a comprehensive collection preferring to concentrate on the quality rather than the quantity of resources. Each resource can be used exactly as it is or taken, bent and twisted to suit the needs of the teachers and students in question.
