Elsewhere on the Web

Here you'll find many of my favorite math and general reference starting points, as well as some other nifty stuff. If you are one of my students you'll hear me refer to most of these in class.

Math Reference

• MathWorld - this is a very good, but very technical encyclopedia. Because it is so heavy with notation and jargon, it is most helpful for those who need to be refreshed on a subject. If you want to learn about a subject, I would look elsewhere.
  
  
• MathWords - a good vocabulary reference, arranged by topic.
  
  
• TI-84 Statistics - chapters 12 & 13 from User Guide
  
  
• TI-84 User Guide - at ti.education.com (always good)
  
  
• The Practice of Statistics - textbook website
  
  
• Wikipedia/Math - I like Wikipedia as a math reference. The articles are written by and for many for whom English is a second language. For this reason, the explanations tend to be more direct and tend to use less jargon.
  
  
• Purplemath - this is my favorite site for extra help with algebra.
  
  
• MathForum - this site has lots of wonderful stuff, such as “Ask Dr. Math,” but it can be very tough to find your way around.

Math Standards

• Ohio Academic Content Standards - on this page you will find a downloadable PDF document detailing the prescribed Mathematics that all childeren should learn, grade-by-grade.
  
  
• NCTM Principles & Standards for School Mathematics - these are the original, more general extensive goals for Mathematics teaching and learning, from which Ohio took our design.

General Reference

• Answers.com - this is my favorite general reference site.
  
  
• Ask.com - this is the site I use alongside Google for general investigations.
  
  
• Wikipedia - I rarely do any research without consulting this site, although to use it properly it is important to also look at the discussion tab (and the history tab if your subject is controversial.)
