Weblink Bibliography

 

One subject that almost every student (and teacher) seems to have trouble with at some point in time is math.  I have compiled a list of great MATH websites that provide interesting and innovative lesson plans, extra help activities for the students, or just helpful ideas for teachers, parents and students.

This is another great page for math challenges and games for children.  There is a parent’s corner and a teacher’s corner and it incorporates geometry (many other math sites did not do).  There is a how-to-guide for the site.  Another great feature is that it works in English and in Spanish for our bilingual families.  All pages are available to download and the challenges are fun and interesting (like, how can you calculate on what day of the week you were born?  Or, Will women ever earn as much money as men?)
