The files include a document that describes the manipulative experiment and the computer programs along with three R scripts that can be used to automate the experiment to allow students to collect more data than can reasonably be done with the manipulative.

American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges. Here they propose standards that mathematics be taught like sciences as a laboratory discipline.

Simulations that  model  prey density with consumption by one predator as well as a population of an insect over time.

Explains a study done on calculus students to better understand how to shape their curriculum. 

Explains the ways that Exponential growth models and logistic models depict real world scenarios to students.

A project dedicated to helping students understand science. Explains how various elements of science works and how science is in everyday life. 

Explains how a steady state system stays constant overtime. Also, explains how an equilibrium stays stable overtime. 

Determines the mathematical needs of colleges. Also offers  a curriculum guide. Focuses on two key main points:

• Determining  mathematical needs and priorities their partner disciplines by offering 22 weekend workshops.
• Supporting mathematics departments to develop and offer an engaging  College Algebra courses.

Its a vision to change Biology education through innovative ideas. The organization involved is the American Association for the Advancement in Science. They are searching for the best ways to teach biology.
