• "Columbia State University" prepares a problem of the week  that you may do for extra credit.    It  needs to be worked by Saturday each week, and on Monday of the next week (or whenever they get it to you) you should  turn in the email they send you that tells you the problem is correct.  They will have it dated correctly.
• Try the government's math challenge.  You may submit the High School or Open Challenge problems for extra credit.  Work the problem and print out the page that says your solution is correct and turn it in by Friday of each week.  I don't know how long each of these will be posted. 
  
• Jets Problem -- Do the problem listed at the top of the list.  If the solution is there, do not do it.  You are only allowed to work the current problem.  Turn your solution in to me by Friday of each week and I will check it.  If you can figure out how to submit your answer go ahead and do that and just email me that you have done so.
• The Problem Site -- Find the High School Page.  You may do those problems and submit your solutions to their site.  Turn in the email they send you or forward it to me.
• Macalester College Problem of the Week -- Turn your solutions in to me before the solutions are posted.
• NCTM Weekly Problem -- Work the problem under "Weekly Problem" and turn it in by Thursday of every week.  You must turn it in before the solution is posted.
