Math Images
Math Images is a website with pages devoted to interesting and striking images based on mathematics. Because the math behind each image is explained simply and for different levels of comprehension, the site appeals to different audiences: teachers, students, and the general public. Moreover, the pages are constructed by undergraduates who choose interesting online images related to mathematics and then write about the math behind these images. Most of the students were rising sophomores, and others were not particularly mathematically strong, but all were quite successful in constructing well made and informative pages. The Math Images site is a wiki which uses the same software as Wikipedia, with related ideas: student work is open to improvement and expansion. We're just finishing a CCLI Phase I version of the project, run as a summer program, and believe that the site could be very successfully used for class writing projects, as well. The wiki is now available for you to examine and use, and for your students to add image pages, http://mathforum.org/mathimages/
