Math in Daily Life
""When you buy a car, follow a recipe, or decorate your home, you’re using math principles. People have been using these same principles for thousands—even millions—of years, across countries and continents. Whether you’re sailing a boat off the coast of Japan or building a house in Peru, you’re using math to get things done." This essay for teens and adults explores the ubiquity of math. Hidden within each section you’ll find interactive activities such as a worksheet to determine whether you should lease or buy a car, and a savings calculator that demonstrates the power of compound interest."

Math Cats
"Teacher and mom Wendy Petti created Math Cats to promote ""playful explorations of important math concepts"" for elementary and middle-school students and she’s certainly succeeded! I loved the interaction between math and art (see Math Crafts and Art Gallery) and the Micro Worlds activities. To get started, you will need to download the free Micro Worlds Web Player but it’s worth the effort. Just look at the activity screenshots if need further convincing. To find activities for a particular age, click on Site Map and Info."

Math is Fun: Long Division with Remainders
"This is the best step-by-step explanation of long division I found on the Net. The page is a bitwide, though, so you’ll probably need to scroll left to right to see the whole thing. In addition tothis illustrated example of long division with remainders, there are two more pages on division(look for the links at the bottom of the page.) The first is an explanation of long division withoutremainders, and the second is an explanation of long division with decimal places in thequotient."
