Divisibility of 2n choose n by a prime. (HTML or PDF)
 
Question in Quandaries and Queries about the divisibility of 2n choose n by the product of three primes. This note addresses the simpler problem of the divisibility of n! and 2n choose n by individual primes.
Get Into Line (HTML or PDF)
 
This Stewart Resource unit covers many topics some of which are basics of graphing, linear equations, characteristics of a line, arithmetic sequences and series and more. Seven sub-units with lessons are presented with objectives, evaluation ideas and procedures for each.
Greatest Common Divisor and Least Common Multiple
 
This development of the greatest common factor and least common multiple is taken from Math 101 Online an online course at the University of Regina. This resource contains a description of the gcd and lcm as well as the Euclidean Algotithm.
Math on the Farm
 
This article discusses some of the many ways in which math is used in agriculture. It considers specific agriculture processes, as well as a variety of math concepts.
Mayan Numerals
 
Studying Mayan Numerals makes a good connection between Math and Social Studies. Lessons on Mayan Numerals can be designed for a wide range of ages. For the primary grades it may be fun to look at this concept using shells, pebbles, and stones. This will help the students learn about place values, and the sorting and collection of different objects. For grades 4 - 6 manipulatives may also be used and then the students can go on to try some problems on their own (suggested exercises given). A Mayan Numerals lesson would also lend nicely to teaching about time and the cycle of a year.
Size small school
 
In this grades 7 to 9 activity students make measurements of their school and then construct a scale drawing.
The Amazing Mathematical Object Factory
 
AMOF, the Amazing Mathematical Object Factory produces lists of mathematical objects in response to customer orders. Products include permutations, combinations, pentominoes, magic squares, subsets and more. AMOF was created in the Computer Science Department of the University of Victoria and is currently on the SchoolNet site.
