The Mathematics as a Second Language Glossary features mathematical terms defined in both English and Spanish with accompanying examples and/or drawings.
The terms are in alphabetical order by the English word. A separate cross-reference of Spanish words only appears in the Index beginning on page 99. The terms used range from those appearing in the elementary school mathematics curriculum to the secondary school mathematics curriculum. |

ResourceMAP modules are relatively short and designed for flexible implementation; that is, they can be used in regular classes as well as in special test-preparation settings. Each module contains a set of contextual problems in several formats: multi-part open response, short response, and multiple-choice. Accompanying the problem set are tip sheets that serve several purposes including lists of formulas, calculator instruction, and brief reviews of the module’s underlying mathematics. Also provided are teacher notes (the module purpose, the mathematical focus, and implementation commentary), answers to all problems, and (in a few cases) handout masters.

TechMAP is a new NSF-funded project that has developed high school modules in technical applications of mathematics. Each module is designed to be completed in 1–3 weeks. A list of currently available modules and a short description of each can be viewed on the TechMAP Web page.

A mathematics trail is a walk to discover mathematics. A math trail can be almost anywhere—a neighborhood, a business district or shopping mall, a park, a zoo, a library, even a government building. The math trail map or guide points to places where walkers formulate, discuss, and solve interesting mathematical problems. Anyone can walk a math trail alone, with the family, or with another group. Walkers cooperate along the trail as they talk about the problems. There’s no competition or grading. At the end of the math trail they have the pleasure of having walked the trail and of having done some interesting mathematics. Everyone, no matter what age, gets an “I Walked the Math Trail” button to wear.

Consortium,
published twice a year and available electronically with COMAP membership, blends contemporary teaching activities with commentaries,
articles and contests, to bring the excitement of mathematical modeling
to high school classrooms. Each issue contains a "Pull-Out"
section, a reproducible classroom activity centered on a real-world
modeling problem. Recent Pull-Out lessons have modeled a wide range
of topics including the genetics of sickle cell anemia and the accuracy
of the Patriot Missile System. |

The
UMAP Journal, published quarterly
and available electronically with COMAP
membership, blends contemporary teaching modules with commentaries
and articles to create a boldly different periodical. Each issue puts
several real-world problems under a mathematical lens, and demonstrates
how real people are using mathematics in their jobs and lives. Whether
it is exploring an elegant explanation of price-elasticity of illegal
drugs, or the strategic implications of disarming the U.S. nuclear
arsenal, The UMAP Journal is the modeling journal for anyone
interested in applied mathematics |

Available in self-contained modules,
GeoMAPs allow you and your students to explore geometry as
it is used in the world today. Modules address major themes in both
mathematics and civilization, such as search for optimality, study
of regularity, symmetry, and other aesthetic qualities of objects
and drawings, avoidance and resolution of conflict, prediction and
control of physical motions, and the study of measurement.

HiMAP
Modules are the perfect companion
to any high school text. Each module is a self-contained modeling
problem that includes exercises, activities, and, where appropriate,
assessment problems. HiMAP Modules cover a broad range of application
areas, and topics in both discrete and continuous mathematics. With
dozens of modules in print, for courses from pre-algebra to pre-calculus,
there is a module for almost any subject, interest, and mathematics
ability. |

UMAP Modules are the perfect companion to any college mathematics text. Each module is a self-contained modeling problem that includes exercises, activities, and, where appropriate, sample exams. With over 300 modules in print, on mathematical subjects from algebra to analysis, there is a UMAP Module for every interest and mathematics ability. |

ILAP Modules consist of small group problem-solving projects that motivate students to develop mathematical concepts and skills. The principles of other disciplines are melded with those of mathematics, producing a broader outlook on solving problems. Formulated like case studies, these projects require students to use scientific and quantitative reasoning, mathematical modeling, symbolic manipulation, and computation. Members can download and reproduce these modules for use in their courses. |
