MathMagic  http://forum.swarthmore.edu/mathmagic/what.html

MathMagic is a K-12 telecommunications project developed in El Paso, Texas. It
provides strong motivation for students to use computer technology while increasing
problem-solving strategies and communications skills. MathMagic posts challenges
in each of four categories (k-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12) to trigger each registered team
to pair up with another team and engage in a problem-solving dialog. When an
agreement has been reached, one solution is posted for every pair. MathMagic has
received wide ideological acceptance by hundreds of past FidoNet users, because it
addresses most of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics standards. A
modified format has now expanded into the Internet and is available via regular
e-mail or via the World Wide Web (WWW).
