This is the website we used in Math120 to develop spacial sense.

A searchable database of online math activities - searchable by grade and topic.

This site was created by the National Center for Education Statistics. While it is aimed towards children, teachers can use this website to spark ideas when teaching probability and graphing in mathematics. By clicking on 'Graph' on the top toolbar, students can enter data and decide to create pie charts, bar graphs, line graphs, and more. The site provides math teasers, quizzes, and even allows children to explore probability through a game using dice.The dice game allows you to see how increasing or decreasing the number of dice rolls affects an outcome. This would be a great site to have students access sometime throughout the year when focusing on graphing and probability!

AAAmath is very user friendly as it is sorted by grade level and subject. Here is what AAA math says about their website: "AAA Math features a comprehensive set of interactive arithmetic lessons. Unlimited practice is available on each topic which allows thorough mastery of the concepts. A wide range of lessons (Kindergarten through Eighth grade level) enables learning or review to occur at each individual's current level. Immediate feedback prevents practicing and learning incorrect methods, which is a common result of traditional homework and worksheets. Practice can continue as long as desired in a non-threatening format which helps build self-esteem and confidence."

Aplusmath is a website to help students improve their math skills interactively. There is a game room, flashcards, and puzzles for students. For teachers and parents there are a number of worksheets and flashcards that you can create for students to practice offline. A few of the worksheets that can be generated have an easy, medium, and hard difficulty level. You can use those in order to have a challenging worksheet for students that are more advanced. Likewise, you can also use the lower level worksheet for students who are having difficulties with the concept.

This is a interactive website for students to practice their math skills. It is also a great resource for teachers because it offers a lot of fresh and new ideas for activities and lessons.

This is an interesting sight which was created by a gifted teacher's mathematics class. The students put together short video explanations of different math concepts, much like those which were are currently creating in class. These videos are interesting to watch, and they show the students line of thinking and reasoning behind different mathematic concepts. They can also provide insight as you think about how to explain these concepts to your students in a way that is relatable and understandable. The video topics include geometry, multiplication, decimals, divisions, and fractions amongst others.

This website provides teachers with many lesson plan ideas that integrate different subjects into math topics. While they are set for high school students, there are some that could be easily fixed to fix middle school students too.

This websites provides lesson plans and games for many math topics. It also provides paper resources on the topics for the teacher to use to encourage the students to discover more information on the math topic.

This website has been created to help the students understand the main concepts of higher level math. It is geared towards older students; however it also covers some elementary math subjects. This website also has some hands on lessons the teachers can use in the classroom.

This website lists a variety of different book resources to use for Math. There are books for all ages listed on this website. It's a great way to integrate Language Arts in Mathematics! ☺

The website offers teacher centers, problem of the week, practice worksheets, cool tools, formulas and tables, test preparation, and study tips. There are a plethora of helpful resources for teachers and students!

A world of math online. Here you can find the problem of the week, teacher centers, worksheets, and much more.

Stuart J. Murphy is the author of the popular MathStart books for kids pre-K to 3rd grade. MathStart helps make math fun!!! I especially liked Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes. However, there are books for basically any topic.

Since it's baseball season, why not have a little fun with Math Baseball!

This website tests students on basic arithmetic to see if they are the math mathematician. I enjoy this website because it offers varying levels of difficulty.

This website offers so many great ideas, resources, tools, lessons, activities, and professional development articles for teachers. I found this website from an LEA (Lutheran Educators Association) e-mail. This website it just stuffed full with awesome information!

Great resouce for children's literature applicable to math lessons. You can search by grade or topic. The site also has links to some lesson plans and online activities which go with some of the books.

Contains descriptions of several books which may be used for mathematics lessons. Includes books for middle school and high school level classrooms.

Math Playground is another interactive computer activity site. This is a great site for students to go onto and use a protractor on the computer or even play a game with real life examples. I thought that this would be a great website to use for our students if they have free time or even as a center for students in the classroom.

This URL is from About.com, so it does not have lesson plans or activities. However, my LEA e-mail today mentioned the need for young girls to be aware of female professions in the STEM program, particularly in Math. So, I thought why not include this website. Students can do a little research of their own on Hypatia of Alexandria, Mary Fairfax Somerville, and Alicia Stott to name a few. Under each of the ten females is a little background information. Underneath that is a link that takes you to more in-depth information and even other websites!!
