Platonic Realms is an online math academy. It features a searchable encyclopedia with extended articles on things from Cantor's Theorem to Zeno's Paradox of the Tortoise and Achilles. You'll also find minitexts, such as "Coping with Math Anxiety" and "The Mathematical Art of M.C. Escher". Last but not least, a searchable math quotes database.

But math is hard! Can't we discuss something easy like economics or sociology? Even Rush Limbaugh can figure those things out!

Ok, this is brilliant. I just started teaching math and physics this year and I am definately incorporating this into my classes. Especially the "Writing for Mathematics" part.
