Geometry Step by Step from the Land of the Incas
Named as one of the Top 10 Canada’s SchoolNet educational web sites, this site provides an eclectic mix of sound, science, and Incan history in order to raise students’ interest in Geometry. Recent additions include Machu Picchu and Geometric Art, Miquel’s Pentagram, Miquel’s Pentagram with Dynamic Geometry, Clifford's Circle Chain Theorems. The Landscape of Geometric Terms, Simson Line (proof of Simson line), The Raft of the Medusa (problem solving with fractals and animation, also in Spanish), Archimedes and the Rhombicuboctahedron (Archimedes the Geometer), Sierpinski Triangle and Machu Picchu (fractal illustration), Johnson's Theorem (three equal circles pass through a common point), The Bevan Point, Van Aubel's Theorem (quadrilateral with squares) and more.  Teachers can use the problems, quizzes, puzzles, proofs, music, quotes, poems, and animations as a supplement to the geometry, history, geography and Spanish curriculum.

Great Expectations
Final report of the task force commissioned by the S. C. Commission on Higher Education to address what students need to make the transition from high school to college mathematics.

A Catalog of Mathematics Resources on WWW and the Internet

The Math Forum
A well-developed site hosted by Drexel University containing materials for teaching mathematics at every level from K-12 and in college.  Links to other related sites as well.

Partnership for Excellence    (http://faculty.uscupstate.edu/pfe)
Established as an outgrowth of a major National Science Foundation grant project of USCS and the school districts of Cherokee, Greenville, Spartanburg, and Union Counties, this site contains cooperative group activities that may be modified to use in mathematics classes from middle school through high school.  The activities are in Microsoft Word and may be downloaded.  Activities are available for middle school number theory, Algebra I, Algebra II, geometry, trigonometry, probability, statistics, functions, history of mathematics, and calculus.
