The stated mission of Mathalicious "is to help transform the way math is taught by providing you with the best, most meaningful and most relevant math content available."
The Mathalicious content is organized into three levels: Middle School Math, Algebra, and Algebra II. You can also select from seven topics ...
- Fractions, Decimals, Percents

Algebra Content
The globes indicate application lessons. The compasses indicate skills lessons.
Mathalicious lessons are aligned to state standards but emphasize conceptual understanding through real-world applications. The people at Mathilicious believe that math isn’t something to be learned for its own sake, but rather a tool to facilitate learning about other things.
Lesson Page
The lessons are hosted on Scribd where they can be viewed and used online or downloaded as PDFs.
The Mathalicious approach can help you stimulate real conversations and real learning about topics relevant to students.
Karim Kai Logue, the founder of Mathalicious, is a former public school math teacher and middle school math coach. He has led professional development workshops on integrating technology in the classroom and improving math instruction.

This is a neat site for so many reasons, but the biggie for me is the name, Mathalicious :) It just sounds like fun. The premiss of the site is an important one. I can't tell you how often I remember saying as a math student, "how am I going to use this in real life?" This offers great real world examples of exactly how it will be used.

We're glad you like the name, and hope the content is helpful to you. We're actually in the process of reformatting all of our lessons to a more presentation-style format, which allows for videos, audio, etc., and should make for more engaging lessons. Also, it will help teachers control the pacing of the lessons a bit better, and foster more of an "a-ha!" climate in their classrooms.
Next year (2010-11) will be a big year for turning out new content, and we hope you like it. In the meantime, have a great summer!
