General Resources

"Best of the Web" for Interactive Math Applets Compiled by Dr. Kurt Ludwick for MD-ADEPT. There's a lot of good material on the web, but how can you find the needles you need in the proverbial haystack? This index lists the best of the web math applets -- organized by general area (Algebra, Data Analysis, Geometry, Modeling, Number Theory, etc) and with a brief easy to read description of each.

Keys to Successful Math Classroom Learning Environments. Compiled by the teachers of the Fall 2003 Conceptual Algebra ADEPT course but applicable to most middle school (even high school) mathematics classes.

A Look into the Assessment Programs in MD and DE by Pamela Shockley, Math Teacher, Delmar District, Sussex, DE. (Pamela served as a Teaching Assistant for the Summer 2002 ADEPT Conceptual Algebra course)

"Books Used In Geometry Class" Teacher and ADEPT participant Kimberly Nutter offered to share her list of popular (even children's) literature which she has been using for years to motivate her geometry lessons.

Articles: On Mathematics Education, Reform, Assessment, Standards, Technology, National trends, etc.

Portfolios, MLPs, Rubrics

Rubric for Modified Lesson Plans (MLPs). From Math 541 -- Conceptual Algebra.
Rubric for ADEPT's Math 541 covering Oral Presentation on Lesson Plans and Course Portfolio.
Rubric from evaluation of portfolio in Math 510 (Mathematical Reasoning for Middle School Teachers) See also more information for teachers on what should go into a Portfolio (Math 510).
General information about using portfolios in mathematics -- their use by k-12 students in general and how k-12 teachers can score them (not just use by inservice teachers enrolled in ADEPT to showcase their own work).
