* What relationship does this model represent?
* What real-world items share this relationship?
* Does that relationship make sense to me?

Learn more about the Japanese Lesson Study model. This technique could be used as a math professional development activity. The site provides information on what lesson study is, how it can be used, networks of organizations already using it, and other resources for teachers to explore in order to make their teaching more effective.
This Java applet helps students visualize the concept that the sum of the squares of the side lengths of a right triangle truly equals the square of the length of the hypotenuse. The second applet demonstrates that Pythagorean Theorem only works for right triangles.
A great collection of mathematically rich, real-world problems. Teachers can search the database by topic, habits of mind, student's math background, technology requirements, and problem duration. (Answers are also provided!)
