Unions, intersections, and differences: This
can all be quite confusing to students trying to enter the potentially
tricky world of Venn Diagrams. Fortunately, Alfredo Jiminez of
Pennsylvania State University, Hazleton has created this handy
Flash-enabled teaching application designed to provide students with an
engaging way to learn about this subject. The project is party of the
Digital Classroom Resources at the MAA Mathematical Sciences Digital
Library, and visitors will find this particular learning activity quite
easy to use. The interactive tool contains seven sections, including
those dealing with the principles of union and intersection,
distributive properties, and De Morgan’s laws. Within each section,
visitors can try their hand with a series of short questions and then
take advantage of some review materials and, of course, a few basic
tests.
How Long is a Minute?

Along with their substantial instructional
resources, the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year
Colleges (AMATYC) has worked to place valuable mathematical
materials online to aid both teachers and students. This
particular site contains links discovered and vetted by
George Alexander, who works on behalf of the AMATYC. Here
visitors will find links to materials that can be used to
teach students about the fundamentals of geometry, including
plane motion, polyhedras, symmetry, and tessellations. In
total, there are links to 33 resources here, and suggestions
for new materials are always welcome.

takes a sheep from the front of the line to be shorn, Eric
sneaks up two
places in line. This learning object allows students to
