Cool Website Here is the article. Try it. __ Wolfram|Alpha __ is a relatively new addition to the expanding list of Internet search strategies. Its developers call it "a computational knowledge engine." It is designed to not just look up answers like other search tools, but to calculate answers based on questions asked it, using an ever-growing collection of data. Currently, it contains 10+ trillion pieces of data and 50,000+ types of algorithms and models.

* **Enter any date** (like June 15, 1800). You'll get time from today, major holidays observed, historic events on that day, daylight information and the phase of the moon for that date. * **Enter any two names** (like Andrew, Barbara) and receive estimates on births with those names and current population graphs. There is an amazing gallery of visual examples with more things to try available __ here __. Try entering "10 nearest stars" and you'll be blown away by the data that is instantly available to you! You can also see examples by topic __here__. Widgets for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, the Mac OS X dock, and more are also available __here__. And there is a smart phone app as well.
 * Some Wolfram|Alpha Basics to Try:**
 * **Enter any city** (like New York). You'll get population information, location and coordinates on a map, a local map, current local time and weather, economic indicators (such as cost of living index, median home price range, unemployment rate, and total sales tax rate), other indicators (such as violent crime rate, property crime rate, and average daily traffic delay), geographic properties, nearby cities and counties, and nicknames.
 * **Enter any two stocks** (like IBM Apple). You'll get the latest trades and tons more financial information and graphs.
 * **Enter any calculation** (like $250 + 15%). You'll get the answer and steps in how it was arrived at.
 * **Enter any math formula.** You'll get the formula graphed, solved, and with accompanying information.
 * Other Interesting Features: **
 * **Enter any food** (like 1 apple + 2 oranges) and receive complete nutrition facts on both foods individually and together.
 * **Enter any measurement** (like 45 mph) and receive unit conversions.
 * **Enter any chemical formula** (like H2SO4) and receive the chemical names, structure diagrams, basic properties, and more.
 * **Enter any musical notes** (like C Eb G C) and receive music notations, keyboard displays, scale information, and play the notes themselves.

* __ Lesson plans __ are currently available for all grades in math, science, and social studies. Shouldn't your students be researching with Wolfram|Alpha? ||  ||
 * How can you use Wolfram|Alpha in the classroom?**
 * Look at the __ climate data from around the globe __ or __ world-wide health indicators __ for authentic, problem-based learning units.
 * There's an __ education portal __ with even more resources free for downloading for student use.
 * Doing research on space? Find out __ what satellites and ships are currently in orbit and where __.
 * You can even get help with __ making words out of Scrabble tiles __!
 * And then there's the __ WolframMathWorld __, the most extensive mathematics resource in the world.

Hello every one I have taken on the idea of the Math Summer Cup 2010, so I started the Math Battle vs Ms. Rogers Class on addition, later on Substraction and at the end will be mUltiplication, so far it has been fun and challenging for the students. the WEB page that we are using if you want to try it out is : [] are you up to the cahllange, next week our game will be vs Mr. de la Guardia class.
