NH Math

NHMath.org is an online set of resources for teachers and students of mathematics to help meet state and national math standards. There are dozens of self-correcting quizzes for grades 3 through 10 for standardized test practice that can be used online or printed for classroom use. NHMath has a wealth of connections to teacher resources that will promote student mathematical understandin. The site was created and maintained by a NH teacher of mathematics. All resources are free to copy and use in your classroom, as long as the NHMath logo is maintained.

Future Educators Academy: With over 40% of New Hampshire’s teachers’ nearing the age of retirement, the Future Educators Academy is a strategy for a local district to “grow its own teachers.” The core courses are built on national standards and, upon successful completion, students earn three transferable credits through New Hampshire’s Community Technical College System. High School Juniors and Seniors must meet entrance requirements to enroll in the Future Educators Academy.

computerIT Pathway: In partnership with thirty-seven business and technology teachers, the Western NH Business & Education Partnership directed the development of New Hampshire’s Information Technology Pathway. It is built on industry and state standards and begins with two core courses; IT & ME and IT & ME Works. The IT Pathway maps the skills and knowledge required of K12 students and outlines degree program options. A complete set of lesson plans for each of the core courses is available through this site.

Hospitality & Tourism Pathway: This curriculum guide was developed by New Hampshire industry professionals and educators to introduce high school students to important topics of Hospitality & Tourism. It also provides a basis for work or further study in the areas of Food Production & Services, Lodging Management, Travel & Tourism, and Recreation & Sports Management.

Concord School District Elementary Media/Tech Program: The MediaTech program is part of a general Media Literacy Program in Concord's Elementary Schools. Media Center Specialists join with Technology Media Specialists to work with students on a weekly basis. Student in 1st through 5th grade engage in about 40 lessons throughout the year. This site also provides some information about a formal media tech program currently underway at the middle school.


Batnet Network Project: Teachers in Bedford developed BatNet, a network science activity in which students gather data about bats, and then analyze, synthesize, and electronically share the data with other students participating in the project. For two nights on a given week in September, students count the number of bats seen at any one time outside their home. This information is then entered on the BatNet website. Participating classes then review all the submitted data in order to make some hypotheses about the health of the bat population, the relationship between development and the number of bats seen, etc.

 

Project Road Kill: This project started in 1992 as part of a National Science Foundation teacher enhancement grant called EnviroNet, awarded to Simmons College in Boston. Brewster Bartlett, also known as Dr.Splatt, began the idea of monitoring dead animals along the roadway as he traveled back and forth from his school. He thought it would make a good project for students to not only learn the different kinds of animals that are found along the roadways but also to keep in touch with each other via the Internet.

NH-Impact Center at PSC and UNH Impact Center: These IMPACT centers are among seven such centers in the New England area with a common mission of facilitating the implementation of exemplary standards-based mathematics and science programs by K-12 teachers in New England.

The GLOBE Program: The GLOBE acronym stands for Globe Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment. This is a worldwide network of students, teachers, and scientists working together to study and understand the global environment. Many schools in New Hampshire participate in this program.

 

Dewey Browse: This site, created by a NH school librarian, has web sites classified by the Dewey Decimal Classification System for Grades K-12.

 

 

Virtual Children's Museum: Designed by 4th grade students from each of the elementary schools in the Governor Wentworth School District, Wolfeboro, NH. The wings of this museum correspond to the four strands of the New Hampshire state social studies curriculum frameworks.
