National Institute of Literacy's Science and Numeracy Special Collection 
The National Institute for Literacy Science and Numeracy Special 
Collection provides annotated links to Internet sites that are useful for 
teaching and learning about science and numeracy. The topics have been 
arranged according to the national education standards in science and in 
numeracy.

National Library of Virtual Manipulatives 
This is a National Science Foundation supported project that began in 1999 
to develop a library of uniquely interactive, web-based virtual 
manipulatives or concept tutorials, mostly in the form of Java applets, 
for mathematics instruction (K-12 emphasis). Learning and understanding 
mathematics, at every level, requires student engagement. Mathematics is 
not, as has been said, a spectator sport. Too much of current instruction 
fails to actively involve students. One way to address the problem is 
through the use of manipulatives, physical objects that help students 
visualize relationships and applications. We can now use computers to 
create virtual learning environments to address the same goals.

TV411 Think Math DVD 
With a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), ALMA has produced 
the TV411 Think Math DVD for use in adult education classrooms across the 
country. The DVD features 8 video segments from the TV411 broadcast series 
that embed useful math lessons in everyday situations to engage adults and 
motivate them to learn; lesson plans for teachers of adult learners on the 
topics of fractions and percents, basic geometry and perimeter, ratios and 
rates, and number patterns and data analysis; links to lessons and 
interactive, online games on our website that reinforce the math content; 
and a link to public television schedules posted on www.tv411.org.

Greetings all,

With the high interest in Math instruction & Adult Numeracy topics,
please note some websites and resources below that may be of interest to
you.

Adult Numeracy Network (ANN): http://www.literacynet.org/ann/
"What is ANN?  We are a community dedicated to quality mathematics
instruction at the adult level. We support each other, we encourage
collaboration and leadership, and we influence policy and practice in
adult math instruction."

The National Institute for Literacy's Science and Numeracy Special
Collection: http://literacynet.org/sciencelincs/
"The National Institute for Literacy Science and Numeracy Special
Collection provides annotated links to Internet sites that are useful
for teaching and learning about science and numeracy. The topics have
been arranged according to the national education standards in science
and in numeracy.
The collection emphasizes the ways in which science and math skills are
important to understanding the world around us."

The Math Forum @ Drexel: http://mathforum.org/teachers/adult.ed/
"This page offers a selection of good sites to visit for information
about adult numeracy."

Does anyone else have websites or resources on Adult Numeracy that they
can share with us?

Aaron
