               For Families

Help your children feel the power of mathematics, and find out what NCTM Standards-based math education is all about.

Work together on an i-Math investigation (see "For Students" above), check out the best math websites, or explore the new NCTM math Standards.

You will love watching your children get excited about math as you travel together through this site.

               For Students

Try some of the i-Math investigations!
Here are a few you might try first:
- Get the turtle to the pond, using geometry and programming (grades K-2)
- Spin some virtual blocks, and explore some geometrical patterns (grades 3-5)
- Create your own histograms, and check out the mean, median, and standard deviation (grades 6-8)
- Manage a trout pond, using algebra and discrete mathematics (grades 9-12)

The Illuminations website is growing!

We will add more lesson plans, i-Math investigations, Reflection activities and great web resources every month. We think you will find the site interesting and useful now. Check back often to see the latest additions.
