Useful math websites

My criteria; sites should be focused on grades 9 to 12, not have any unacceptable bias, be easy to use, and linked to the Ontario curriculum expectations for math. (Note that these sites do not meet all these criteria).

www.jumpmath.org : Free fraction worksheets. Can order workbooks for grades 3 to 8.

www.dynamicgeometry.com : Downloadable classroom activities, including “the first week of calculus” and activities with TI calculators.

www.teach-nology.com/teachers/lesson_plans/math/912 : Lesson plans.

A two-page document outlining some thoughts about the new Grade 11 “Introduction to Computer Programming” course, versus the existing Grade 11 ICS3M course. This is in place of my 5-10 minute oral presentation, and is optimized to view on the screen in our classroom.
