At a time when the nation's students are graduating college
and, in some cases, high school while buried under mounting
credit-card debt, the Federal Reserve has launched a newly redesigned
web site intended to help teach greater fiscal responsibility
among school-age children. For younger students, the enhanced
site features a variety of online games and puzzles meant to
stress the importance of smart spending. Older students are
invited to take part in several role-playing scenarios that
encourage them to consider what it's like to be a bank examiner
or even sit in on a meeting with Federal Reserve Chairman Alan
Greenspan as he works with the Federal Open Market Committee
to set interest rates. The site also contains a specially engineered
search engine designed to guide educators in finding materials
to help increase students' understanding of economics. A personal
finance section aims to encourage more informed decisions on
such topics as consumer banking, buying a home and getting a
mortgage, interest rates, loans and credit, and more.

NCTM has developed a set of standards for school mathematics
that address content, teaching and assessment. These standards
are guidelines for teachers, schools, districts, states and
provinces to use in planning, implementing and evaluating
high-quality mathematics programs from kindergarten through
12th grade.
If you only have time for investigating one site, look no
farther! This gateway to standards-based mathematics education
provides incredible resources to improve the teaching and
learning of mathematics for all students.
