//**New Additions from members**//: []: Has videos that show how math is used in jobs. Each video is 2-6min long. []: Algebra vs. Cockroaches Game [|ttp://my.hrw.com/math06_07/nsmedia/tools/Graph_Calculator/graphCalc.html]: Online Graphing Calculator [|Donorschoose.org]: This site is really good. Last year I received 3 class sets of newbery award books. Doesn't take much time to write in, but ask for realistic purchases $100-300 otherwise they probably won't get funded. Donors go on the site and pick where they want their money to go and how much they want to donate, so whatever your asking for you need to be convincing on the need of the materials. You can only ask for a couple of projects based on their point system otherwise you have to pay to be on the site. It's worth checking out!
