After some looking around on the internet for a quality online community for math, I stumbled upon one, "Math Forum". This website has a lot to offer both math teachers and students. The website covers areas of mathematics from elementary mathematics to college mathematics to math literature with thousands of topics open for discussion. It allows for members to post problems that they might have or need help with, as well as giving members a chance to work on their own math skills while helping other members. The site also covers topics that are related to math, but considered a different topic, such as physics and computers. The website also includes a sections for weekly problems and puzzles. It also has a links page that can lead you to other great sites related to mathematics. Another great feature is the messaging service so you can contact other members without giving up your email address.
This site is very active, with members over 2000 members, there are postings of questions and replies daily. This online community will provide me with the opportunity to get help with questions that I have, as well as work on my skills as a math teacher. This site will also help me get ideas for anticipatory sets and math lessons. The site itself could be used as an assignment, by requiring students to participate as a member, kind of like this class. I have enjoyed browsing around and being a part of this website.
