Here is a list of twelve URL addresses for web sites that I think
will be useful for my future practice. They are all accessible through my
home page which is located at http://www.unm.edu/~khaled. The main
reason for me to choose those web sites is to make it easy to my colleagues
in the College of Education, University of Hodiedah, in Yemen to find some
math and math education resources for teaching and research.

    I have divided my web sites into three different categories and I
will keep adding to these two categories whenever I found appropriate
sites. So far, the category of Educational Organizations has only two web
sites while the category of Math and Math Education Resource Center has
eight web sites. The third category of Information About Yemen and the
Arab World has two web sites

A- Educational Organizations:

1- The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, NCTM. The URL address
is:
 http://www.nctm.org. This web site contains a lot of publications of the
NCTM along with meetings minutes and notes. It has also research ideas
related to the NCTM standards for mathematics teaching, learning, and
assessment. Information about membership and catalogs of products are also
available. The regional conferences for 2000-2001 are listed in the web
site.

2- The Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, ASCD. The

Math education researchers can benefit from the site too. There is also a
corner for kids and parents. Even the educational organizations have
something related to their work in the site. A rich environment for lesson
plans, units, project, and classroom materials is available there. Ask Dr
Math is an area where any one can ask about a math problem or some help in
mathematics. Teacher to teacher is a place where teachers exchange their
ideas and experience with each other.
The problem of the week is a challenge corner where people post math
problems that they think are important or challenging.
