Math Help
Math Abundance
(grades 9 -12): www.ping.be/~ping1339/hp.htm This
witty site offers tutorials on topics from pre-Algebra through Calculus. The designers sum
up their site this way: "As we worked our way through various math classes throughout
the years, we often became confused or lost. At first we decided it might have been
all the sleeping and talking we did during class, but we knew it couldn't be that
simple... So here's a site for people like us... easy ways to learn concepts.
MathFlash (grades
2 - 8): www.edu4kids.com/math Here is a good
example of computers doing what computers do best. Straight foward computation flash
cards are generated by this site.
DAU Math Refresher
(grades 3 - 12): www.cne.gmu.edu/modules/dau/math/index.html
Designed as a tool to review basic arithmetic through calculus, this site is charmingly
designed with the organizational metaphor of a subway systemthat students travel through
as they complete each topic. The students will have to have pencil and paper ready
to work out the problems.
Mission: Critical
(grades 7 - 12): www.sjsu.edu/depts/itl/ This project of
The Institute of Teaching and Learning offers a large set of tutorials on logic and
thinkning skills.
Web Math (grades 3
- 12): www.webmath.com/index.html This impressive
math site is set up to provide computerized step-by-step tutorials on most individual
problems in almost any math topic.
The ArithmAttack: www.dep.anl.gov/aatack.htm How many computer-generated arithmetic problems can you
answer in 6o seconds?" That's the challenge posed to visitors at this visually
simple, math-driven website sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National
Laboratory. Kids (and parents!) can choose addition, subtraction, multiplication, or
division problems or ask the computer to offer a random selection. More effective
and much more fun than flash cards. EW's rating: B+
Coolmath.com: www.coolmath.com
This site is great for many things math. So check it out.
