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.

The Slope-Intercept Form of a Line Gizmo helps students explore the relationship between a linear equation written in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) and its graph. By adjusting the slope and y-intercept using interactive controls, students immediately see how each value affects the line's position and steepness on the coordinate plane. The simulation encourages students to make connections between equations, tables, and graphs while developing a deeper understanding of linear functions through hands-on exploration. It is well-suited for middle school algebra, Algebra 1, and introductory high school mathematics classes.
