Mathematics Internet Sites 
Introduction
The internet sites found listed below are the result of work completed by teachers who attended the Generation II: MASER project during the 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 Summer Workshops. Workshop participants researched mathematics Internet sites using a set of developed evaluation criteria. A set of Internet learning activities for teachers and students were developed which correlated directly with State of Michigan Mathematics Content Expectations. In several of the strands, the "domains" are similar to "Standards" in Principles and Standards for School Mathematics from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. The result is that teachers and students will be able to use the Internet resources as a learning tool which is fully integrated with their Mathematics curriculums.

The Mathematics Internet sites are organized under the following headings: Lower Elementary Internet Sites (K-2); Upper Elementary Internet Sites (3-5); Middle School Internet Sites (6-8); High School Internet Sites (9-12). Each Internet site is listed under the "Mathematics Domain" that it meets.
The General Mathematic Sites are Internet sites that do not meet specific Mathematics benchmarks. Listed are numerous outstanding sites which contain resources that might be useful to teachers. The Major Topics are: Mathematics Games and Student Activities; Mathematics Lesson Plans; Directories to Math Sites; Interactive Learning and Problem Solving Activities; and Word Searches and Puzzles. The "general sites" contains links to mathematics media resources, multiple subject indexes, women and minorities issues, careers in mathematics, information about using Internet media resources and other general information.
Internet sites "New" to the disk this year are marked and sites found by participants to be "Outstanding" are also identified.
