For Math Teachers: *Mathematics Illuminated*

Mathematics Illuminated is a 13-part multimedia learning resource developed by Oregon Public Television for teachers. The videos and other materials are available at the Annenberg teacher resources website at no cost. "The series explores major themes in the field of mathematics, from mankind's earliest study of prime numbers to the cutting edge mathematics used to reveal the shape of the universe." The series includes "groundbreaking videos, interactive Web exploration, text materials, and group activities." The math focus is high school and college but we know many middle grades math geeks (er, teachers) who will want to explore this offering for their own professional development. NOTE: you can watch the videos online for free once you establish an account — the only fees come with workshop registration or graduate credit. Go to the "home" for each unit ('The Primes' is the first) to find the video link and many other resources.
