The History of Measurements
This excellent and comprehensive article on the History of Measurements was written by Tiffany Chambers, a writer for LearningHaven.com. It covers the history of a wide variety of measurements, including those that measure length, weather and time.
How is algebra really used?
This link leads to a freely available on-line book, "Algebra Real-World (It's easier to understand than you think!)," written by Edward J. Farkas, Sc.D. This on-line book takes algebra out of the abstract and places it in a context that is readily understandable. In the high school curriculum, physics is the subject most relevant for providing this context.

The Geometry Junkyard
These pages have been provided by Professor David Eppstein of the Computer Science Department at the University of California in Irvine. They contain usenet clippings, web pointers, lecture notes, research excerpts, papers, abstracts, programs, problems, and other content related to discrete and computational geometry. Professor Eppstein writes that “while some of it is quite serious, I hope much of it is also entertaining
Geometry in Action
This is a second site provided by Professor Eppstein. It collects various areas in which ideas from discrete and computational geometry (meaning mainly low-dimensional Euclidean geometry) meet some real world applications. It contains brief descriptions of those applications and the geometric questions arising from them, as well as pointers to web pages on the applications themselves and on their geometric connections.
