This site offers a detailed biographical treatment of Escher's work in illustrating perceptual and spatial phenomena and illusions. The site will be useful both for art instruction and for math or science study. We were delighted to find illustrations large enough to show the intricacies of these images. Even younger students will respond to, "What's going on in this picture?" discussions of these images.

tag(s): perspective (33)

This is one of Life's Little Lessons featuring Daniel Tiger. Use it to help young children "work on feelings about separation and independence, memory skills, developing self-control, and expressing feelings." There are three videos to watch and discuss, as well as resources for classroom use, and resources to share with parents about separation.

tag(s): emotions (72), social and emotional learning (205)

In the Classroom

Discover the delightful Daniel Tiger and his friends and family through these videos. Even your youngest nursery school students will be able to relate to the characters, images, and story in these three films. They will probably want to watch them again and again! Parents and students alike will benefit from the resources provided. There is also a Teacher Tips sheet that provides suggestions for helping children adjust to separating from their families for awhile. Be sure to use the suggested free, online book on the Teacher Tips sheet with your students and their parents.

Developed by a faculty member at Georgia Southern University with support from the National Science Foundation, this site offers a collection of demonstrations for precalculus, calculus, and post-calculus students using a variety of tools and media. None of these appears to require specialized equipment, and their utility will depend on their "fit" with individual curricula. Secondary math teachers may well find useful tools here.

Don't be fooled by the "plain Jane" look of this site or its slightly quirky search interface. Beneath it all lies a treasure trove of math lessons, activities, and games for elementary, middle school, and high school students. The site also includes a number of resources specifically for teachers. There's a real international flavor to the content, so math teachers will need to choose appropriate resources carefully. Still, there's much to use here.
