More Than Math ('E' 'M') (Standards)
As the site explains, More Than Math integrates the visual arts into the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade mathematics curriculum using works of art from the collection of the Asheville Art Museum as the basis for problematic mathematical tasks using NC Standard Course of Study goals and objectives. More Than Math introduces and explores concepts shared by mathematics and the visual arts such as pattern, symmetry, proportion, perspective, balance and geometric form and stresses the importance of each individual’s perspective.

Project Interactivate ('E' 'M')
The many activities here provide a way that students can test hypotheses, manipulate graphs, etc. The idea is to allow students to complete activities hands-on that would otherwise be impossible without the power of the computer. Activities are completed in the browser and are organized by concepts applicable to grades 3-5, though we think higher grades can clearly benefit as well. Concepts include: Number and Operation, Geometry and Measurement, Function and Algebra, and Statistics and Probability. Teacher resources for each activity are detailed and found by clicking the WHAT, HOW WHY on the activity's page. Well done and a growing site. By the Shodor Foundation.
