Middle School and High School Links


The Math Forum Great collection of links for all ages, well sorted.  Links for teachers, by grade levels, and links for kids.  Of special note for kids are problem of the week (pow) and ask Dr. Math.

Mathematics games and puzzles that you can play on the computer.
 

Elementary Brain Teasers (through grade 6, not too easy!)

Art of Problem Solving An online math community

Map Coloring:

The Three Color Theorem  A nice challenge.  See if you can build a counterexample!

The Four Colour Theorem  A nice history.

Martin Gardner's April Fool's Map  You can print out copies.  You can even save a copy to color on a computer paint program.
 

Not your ordinary Geometry:

Torus and Klein Bottle Games  How would tic-tac-toe, mazes, or word search be on the surface of a bagel?  (A torus is another name for a bagel.)

Dragon Curves Beautiful shapes you can get by folding a roll of postage stamps.

Geometer's Sketchpad See what you can do with sketchpad. Even a free download, but you can't save your stuff.
