Visual Patterns is a new website launched by Fawn Nguyen (check her own post about it here). The site is for helping students develop algebraic thinking through visual patterns. This should be perfect for the intro to linear growing patterns or linear relations, even non linear growing patterns http://www.visualpatterns.org/

This week, I stumbled upon a fantastic TED talk by David McCandless, who's a pro at turning complicated data into clear and powerful visuals.
