Remember this: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Educational_content_ideas/data_sets Since then, I've identified other datasets I would like to have available like: * stats on the number and type of errors by children while learning their multiplication tables. Because I still need a way to identify easy multiplication facts from hard multiplication facts. And which facts get confused with each other. * sudoku puzzles and solutions. Because I wanted to create these: http://neoparaiso.com/imprimir/sudoku-de-fracciones.html http://neoparaiso.com/imprimir/sudoku-tablas-multiplicar.html * crossword templates. Because I want to create nice math crosswords. * conjugation of verbs in Spanish * maze structures. Though, I can create those with a little effort. * areas and subareas of economical activity. Like, you can go into Finance, and then specialize in Banking. Maybe useful for career exploration...
