International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement - Third International Mathematics and Science Study
The United States scores low in Mathematics and Sciences
Find out about the largest international study of student
achievement - which countries participated, how
student achievement was measured, what contextual
information was collected, and how to obtain the
results.

- AIMS Education Foundation
AIMS: Activities Integrating Mathematics and Science.
The mission of the
AIMS Education Foundation is to enrich the education of students in K-9 through hands-on
activities that integrate mathematics, science, and other disciplines. AIMS implements the
recommendations put forth in reform documents such as Science for All Americans (American
Association for the Advancement of Science), Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School
Mathematics (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) and the National Science Education
Standards (National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences.)

- IMPACT II--The Teachers Network
TeachNet is a World Wide Web site for teachers sponsored by IMPACT II--The
Teachers Network, the premier nationwide, educational, independent nonprofit organization that
supports innovative teachers who exemplify professionalism, independence, and creativity in public
school systems.
I recommend the site if you're looking for general lesson ideas and ways to get kids interested in math (or other disciplines for that matter).

You should browse this at some point to see what's there and what information is available to teachers and parents.
