=DISCLAIMER: This is NOT the curriculum!! (to be edited later...)= = = = = =Find on this page some links to useful places on the web to help with instructional strategies for the Grade 10 Applied Pre-Calculus Course. Note that the intention here is NOT to provide specific resources for each learning outcome, but rather to guide teachers to sites which may be useful for more than one outcome.=

(These sites use and contain interactive activities that allow the teacher or student to explore relationships and visualize mathematics. The emphasis seems to be mostly on high-interest, difficult conceptual material made easier to understand by changing inputs to the activity.)
 * //Virtual Manipulatives List//**

[|National Library of Virtual Manipulatives at Utah State University]

[|National Resource For Computational Science Education (SHODOR)]

[|National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (ILLUMINATIONS)]

[|Computing Technology For Math Excellence]

This list of activities provides some contexts for problem-solving that middle-years and senior-years students enjoy. The emphasis here is on participating either individually, in groups, as a class, or even as a demonstration activity. Discussions could involve analyzing strategy, rules, or other aspects of 'winning' decisions.

[|Rush Hour]

[|Crazy Cube]

[|Lights]

[|Eyeballing Game]

This section would be useful for teachers teaching material for the first time. Emphasis is on content only, not necessarily on any particular instructional techniques.
