  • Mathematics Education Database MathEduc (formerly MATHDI) is an international database of literature on research, theory and practice in mathematics education

• National Science Digital Library provides links to online educational resources for teaching and learning.

  • Springer's list of mathematics educations journals

  • TheProof Comprehension Research Groupat Rutgers University publications list.

  • Proof Preuve Prueba - The International News Letter on the Teaching and Learning of Mathematical Proof is a curated list of articles from a variety of journals.

Journals

• • The College Mathematics Journal (CMJ) is published by the MAA and has a variety of content aimed at instructors of first and second year courses. The articles are available on JSTOR and the topical index (see MAA website for current version) is particularly useful for finding interesting and relevant content. The mathematics department at Harvey Mudd also maintains a searchable database of the articles.
