In the Classroom
Assign each student or small group a topic from the site (e.g., Newton's Method, U-substitution, or infinite series). Have them learn from the lesson page, then create a mini-presentation or infographic using Canva Edu reviewed here explaining the concept with an original example problem. Assign a concept, such as limits or derivatives, and have students find or create a real-life situation where it applies (e.g., calculating rates of change in physics or economics). They present their scenario and demonstrate the calculus involved. Assign students a calculus problem (e.g., a related rates scenario or chain rule derivative) and have them use the site's step-by-step calculators to check their work. Then, require them to explain each step in their own words to a peer or in a short written reflection.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Introduce PhET simulations during a math station rotation or as a flipped learning module. For a flipped lesson, assign students a specific simulation, such as Area Model Multiplication, to explore at home, allowing them to build conceptual familiarity before entering the classroom. During in-class station rotations, set up a "Discovery Lab" where students use the simulations to test hypotheses and solve challenges. Once they master a concept, have them use Awesome Screenshot, reviewed here to record a short video explaining their mathematical reasoning as they manipulate the tools. These recordings serve as a powerful formative assessment, showing exactly how a student arrived at an answer. To further extend the activity, have students post their videos or screenshots to a shared Padlet, reviewed here as a gallery walk. Asking students to share their thinking with others allows peers to see different strategies for solving the same problem and develop their own methods.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

PhET's Plinko Probability is an interactive simulation inspired by the Galton board, where students drop balls through a triangular peg grid and observe where they land. As balls accumulate in bins at the bottom, the visualization shifts into a histogram that reveals a bell-shaped distribution mirroring the binomial curve. Users can adjust probabilities and run large numbers of trials to explore empirical vs. theoretical outcomes, make predictions, and interpret probability distributions. Ideal for middle and high school classrooms, this tool supports learning goals such as predicting outcomes, comparing experimental results to theoretical models, and developing statistical reasoning around variability and center.
tag(s): data (199), probability (128), simulations (45), statistics (128)
In the Classroom
Before launching the simulation, ask students to predict which bin will collect the most balls and why. Then run the simulation and compare the actual distribution to their predictions, sparking discussion on probability and symmetry. Guide students in calculating the theoretical probability of a ball landing in each bin and comparing it to their experimental results from the simulation. Extend the task by having students graph using Canva Edu reviewed here. They can show both distributions on the same chart. For a creative extension, have students design a real or digital version with Scratch reviewed here of a Plinko-style game with modified rules or peg arrangements. They must explain the probability model behind their game and predict patterns of outcomes. Browse through PHET reviewed here to find other simulations to explore probabilities in other ways.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Ask students what they notice, wonder, and infer, then connect their observations to concepts like variability, center, or bias. Provide students with a messy or incomplete dataset. Ask them to identify inconsistencies, fix formatting, and decide how to handle missing or extreme values--an essential real-world skill in data science. Have students gather data from their school or local community (e.g., lunch preferences, screen time, walking distances) and organize it using Google Sheets. Extend the activity by having them analyze the data and present their findings visually.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Math Medic is a free, student-centered resource hub created by veteran high school teachers that offers daily, customizable lesson plans across a range of high school mathematics courses -- from Algebra 1 to AP Calculus and Statistics. It promotes an "Experience First, Formalize Later" (EFFL) learning model, engaging students in real-world, exploratory activities before guiding them toward formal mathematical concepts and notation. With a free subscription, teachers get access to ready-to-print lessons, student-friendly guided notes, answer keys, pacing guides, and slides for instruction. Paid add-ons include a robust assessment platform for homework, quizzes, tests, and AP review materials aligned with curriculum activities. Additionally, teachers can attend in-person or online EFFL workshops to support implementation.

In the Classroom
Begin class with the "Experience First" task from a Math Medic lesson to spark curiosity and promote collaborative problem-solving. Let students explore patterns or make conjectures before introducing formal math concepts. Distribute the student-friendly guided notes provided with each lesson to keep learners engaged while promoting active participation and organized thinking during instruction. Use the editable slide decks and pacing guides to adjust lesson pace or depth based on your students' needs. These can also help scaffold concepts for struggling learners or extend challenges for advanced students. Share lesson slides or discovery tasks in advance or after class for flipped learning or catch-up. This allows students to review content at their own pace while staying aligned with classroom instruction. Turn lesson examples into group tasks where students work collaboratively to solve and present their findings, promoting mathematical communication and reasoning.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Course subjects include computer science and artificial intelligence, math, physics, engineering, and others. There are courses from beginning-level undergraduate classes and up to graduate-level master's and doctoral courses. Find courses by searching for topics, browsing collections, or choosing from the newest course additions.

In the Classroom
AP history, language, and economics students may find MIT's online course materials useful. MIT has committed to putting its entire curriculum on the web, and these early offerings include syllabi, reading materials, and a variety of subject-specific class notes. Before using these pages, students and parents should all be aware of what Open Courseware is and is not. Teachers at smaller schools may welcome the availability of language alternatives. Teachers of gifted who are looking for acceleration options will also find these courses valuable, though you will need to develop a means of doing assessment if your students are to earn credit for them.
