Math.com to the rescue!!!

www.math.com is an online tutorial service that provides students with extra help regarding their math classes. It is a well laid out website and it presents its content in a relatively straight forward manner. Wile it may lack a lot of "whistles and bells", it does what it is sets out to do: provide extra instruction for students who are having trouble with math. The range of topics is broad, running from fractions, to square roots, to decimals, to calculus and other advanced math topics. Of course, one does not need to be math deficient to benefit for Math.com. Math comes down to practice, and there is practice aplenty at Math.com. It allows those who access it an opportunity to hone rough areas in their knowledge and grow as arithmeticians. I would try to use it as a tool to construct examples and lesson plans. I could also design quizes using the examples provided on the website. Finally, it woudl be easier for me to exaplain concepts to students who have problems with the lesson by following Math.com's lead.

I struggled with math when I was a boy, so I almost wish that this had been around when I was a boy. But at least others who have had problems similar to mine can have the chance to benefit from it's use.

www.math.com receives a full score of 4 out of 4. Good job, Math.com! ;-)

Hi:
You have fun playing with words; check into taking an elective course in linguistics.

I hope you continue to use your BLOG with your students and your fellow teachers.
