Title: Professor Feedman's Math Help URL: http://www.mathpower.com/

Comments: This website is helpful for students in the fourth through the eight grade. It could also be used by high school kids that don't understand the basics. This site helps out with a geometry, pre-algebra, and a little bit of algebra. This site gives very specific information and can be very helpful to any kids that may need it. U click on a few links to narrow down exactly what you are looking for and then it gives very descriptive information on many sub-topics about the main topic. The only problem that may result from using this website is that you click on the wrong topic and get taken into another direction. But for middle school and some high school kids this website is very descriptive and has the ability to help out tremendously. Once again I could put this up onto the screen and as a class we can talk this out. We can talk through each little point it gives on the website about our specific topic.

Comments: What I liked about this website is that there is not just the one woman running it and giving the information, that seems to be input from many different people, and this could possibly help the students, if they don't understand the way one person explains it, it may make more since them the way another person explains it. It also has a few games that could make the learning experience fun for younger students. The only problem I have with this site is that it seems to be for oriented towards college age students and only has limited information that would be accessible to middle school and high school students. In high school sometimes my teachers for fun would let us go to sites like this one and play the games, of course there would be a worksheet to go along with it to make sure that we stayed on track, but it was almost like a free day with a bit of education thrown in. - KM 2/10/10

Title: Math League Help Topics URL: [|www.mathleague.com]

Comments: This site is very good with helping to study for a test or to help teach the material to students. It teaches basic math, algebra, and study skills. It also isnt entirely an adult teaching a student. It is students teaching students and has many different students to choose one if one does not make sense. It gives the students examples to follow and then the student has the opportunity to try an assignment out on his/her own. The student can take as long as he/she needs to. A problem that it has though is that the assignment is not connected to the tutorials. It can be difficult to find the right assignment that the student may need to practice. I could use it in a classroom by putting the tutorials or even any assignment up on screen projector. As a class we can talk through the tutorials and make sure that everyone understands it. Then with the assignments we can go through and call out kids to answer the questions that are in each assignment.

Comments: To focus more on a secondary level education of math for this website is appropriate. After I went through the whole website in every hyper link it provides I found very useful information that I even as a student could see myself using for a resource. There are not many animations that this website provides to you at all. Its very plain and does not catch a good attention to students. I think that students would get bored using this website. But if they added more color and animated hyper links, they could find themselves enjoying the educational resource that they are encountering. The strongest aspect this website provides is the range of mathematic subjects that this site provides useful information to. If I was looking for a better understanding about a term under the subject of geometry. I would simply click on the geometry link and look for the geometric terms that it provides with more links accessing more information about the website. Overall I find this website very useful for secondary level education for math students. -CG 2/10/10
