__ Ten Websites for Math Lesson Plans __ __ Fractions and Paper Folding Lesson __ []//www.middleschool.net/less_tut/lessplanlk/mathlesp.htm%23Geometry __ Geometry Notebook __ [] __ Geometry Everywhere __ [] __ Symmetry of Rugs __ [] __ Algebra – Fun with Calendars __ [] __ Line Graphs __ [] __The Locker Problem__ [] __ Christmas Lesson Plans __ [] __ Finding the Best Buy __ [] __ Teaching Geometry __ []

Brenda Hester's 10 blogs Ten Educational Blogs:
 * 1) [] This blog’s purpose is to show ways to simplify basic math and algebra concepts, such as multiplying fractions, dividing fractions, and factoring polynomials.
 * 2) __ [] __ Holy Pythagorean Theorem Batman! This blog is not for the faint of heart. It would take some grown mathematicians to solve these “fun” questions presented in this blog. For example: “How do you determine the equilateralness of a triangle that is not equilateral?” “Can you find a formula that associates Fibonacci numbers to Pi?” “Can you prove Lagrange’s Theorem that every positive integer is the sum of 4 squares?” Wow!
 * 3) __ [] __ Math teachers, are you tired of hearing, “When will we ever use this?” This is a great blog that includes information on how math can be used to cure cancer and solve crimes. Get students familiar with this blog and they will understand that Algebra I skills might not be enough to perform surgery or revise biological studies, but that those same skills are building blocks for many incredible occupations!
 * 4) __ [] __ This blog is for math students and teachers. It can be used for the traditional math classroom or for homeschooling. It serves grades K – 12 and welcomes anyone to add to it who might know fun math games or innovative ways of teaching/learning math.
 * 5) __ [] __ A teacher with 13 years of experience talks about her daily routines of teaching. (She even blogs during Christmas vacation!) She has some really neat ideas for teaching lessons with hands-on experiences. For example, she teaches how to find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a poygon without using S = 180(n – 2). However, by the end of the hands-on activity students will understand why S = 180 (n – 2) works.
 * 6) __ [] __ This blog talks about discipline issues in middle schools and high schools. It discusses the pros and cons of “in-school suspension.”
 * 7) [] A Colorado high school English teacher offers her opinions on education, flavored with parenting, politics, and the contemporary American life. Very insightful, in my opinion!
 * 8) __ [] __ This looks like a good blog for teacher/principal relations. Topics include “introducing administrators to the 21st century” and “seven top things that teachers want from their principal.”
 * 9) __ [] __ An array of hot topics is discussed in this blog, including teacher pay, teacher morality, and practical classroom tips.
 * 10) __ [] __ I love, love, love this blog. It investigates the notion that people are usually either good at algebra or geometry, but not both. Just call me a class-A nerd, but this is just exactly what I was talking to my Pre-AP geometry students about today in class. This was their first day in geometry. I told them to ignore all the hype that says that you are either good at one or the other. I have had plenty of students who were good at both!
