This website povides video Math course online for K -12 and College students . MathVids was launched on March 14, 2008 as a joint project of Scott and Ryan Anderson! It has since grown to 1550 Math video lessons taught by 40 teachers! According to the founders, through "the accessibility of online math videos, we hope to provide students around the world with an equal opportunity to access high quality math lessons and improve mathematical literacy in the 21st century." Seeking only the highest quality of math video, this website screens content very closely. Often allowing several teachers to teach lessons on the same subject for reaching students that may reach the conclusion through separate intelligence! This website is organized like a textbook, so math students can be browsed through easily in addition to using fully-functional search utility that will help students find exactly what you need. I found this site very user friendly and could see myself examining some of this material for lesson planning ideas!

"Math is about so much more than just numbers-so, IXL is too! We approach each math concept from all angles, offering visual representations, word problems, interactive activities, and more. With an abundance of math problems for every learning style, students can't help but build lasting skills and confidence." This website lists state standards in Math for all 50 states and connects online drills and games to each. Preschool concepts through Algebra are presented. As a member, you can track student progress by class or individuals but students can play as a visitor as well. Pop-up screen lets you know what each game looks like before you click to play. In addition to its applications in the classroom, this looks like a great resource for parents to inform themselves of state standards and to help them check their child's progress.

The state Standards list includes a description of current shift towards Common Core. Teachers need only to pick a grade level and an objective to see a sample questions that addresses that standard at the appropriate level. The sample drill shows that activities are timed. How is that reflected in the stats for a students' session?

If you opt for the subscription rather than the free Shared games, teachers are able to see student scores on activities and compare them to the results of other students. I think this would work best in a lab setting to get good information from all students but kids could have passwords and do drills at home as well. Teachers could still get the information.

The Kahn Academy offers resources on a variety of topics like Math, Science, Computer Science, Finance and Economics, Humanities and Test Prep. Resources include an extensive video library, interactive challenges, and assessments.

This site offers tutorials and games for science and math from kindergarten to high school levels. Teachers and students can use these tutorials to increase content knowledge and then the games and quizzes to increase motivation and assessment. It can be used as a supplement in the classroom or students can work on it at home. 

A site offering educator approved videos in the subject areas of language arts, math, writing, fine arts, science, social studies, and languages. Videos are divided by age level and could be used in the classroom as an introduction to a topic, a review of information or to present a topic in an alternate form.

This website allows students to choose a subject area and then collect information in a variety of formats. Students can get a dictionary definition, use a thesaurus, look at a map in an atlas, find more information in an encyclopedia or view a timeline related to the topic. I think this would be a great general reference site for student or teachers. Wonderful for the interactive white board.
