Students are especially sure to love the games and puzzles section of this website, which introduces a number of games to be played to help students master difficult math concepts.

This mathematics forum website is a great resource for possible activity ideas to use with your students. The main page of this website includes six main link sections: numbers and operations, algebra, data analysis and probability, measurement, geometry, and other resources. Each of these subcategories has an array of possible topic areas and activities to go along with these areas. These activities are aligned with the NCTM standards and often include the use of manipulatives.

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 is a great resource for brain teasers, questions of the day, or trivia related to mathematics. This can be a great resource for teachers to find a "hook" to begin their math lessons. This site also contains many outside links to additional resources and games to play with students. Although these links seem to focus mainly on mathematical concepts, many also relate to a variety of other subject areas and make learning fun.

This site offers an array of resources related to teaching mathematics. It includes links for teachers, students, and parents. While some of the information needs to be purchased, there are also free links. For instance, the website offers flashcards to use to assist students. The website also contains games, such as crosswords, to help familiarize students with key vocabulary.

Scholastic.com offers lesson plan ideas for all subjects areas and grade levels K-12. I found 516 math lesson plans that cover standards such as probability, addition and subtraction, geometry, etc. The math lesson plans featured are thorough and even include objectives and links to worksheets to be used along with them. I found one interesting lesson plan where students had to estimate and practice deciding how much water could be put into a glass jar. Activities such as these allows students to be active in their math education! This is a great site for teachers to find lesson plans!

This site contains a variety of links and resources for children to access to further their knowledge on a particular math skill. I came across this site when looking for picture graph resources for my lesson plans and was impressed by the links provided on this page. The most impressive link is 'Picture Graphs' which would bring students to a web quest type picture graph lesson that has them learning about picture graphs by creating some themselves and participating in the lesson. If you don't understand quite what I mean, check it out! Teachers could use this for students who need a little practice or even as a review game when visiting the computer lab. The links included are great resources for math teachers.

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!

This website is full of really useful tips, advice, and articles about all aspects of teaching and learning math. I found this useful when I was working on creating worksheets and activities because the website suggests ways to make learning fun and educational.

This website is really helpful for teaching multiplication in the math classroom. It has games for students to practice multiplication problems. It also has different strategies for teaching multiplication for teachers to use. The other nice thing about this website is that it has other resources that teachers can use to find information.

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!!

From my cooperating teacher for pre-student teaching, I have become aware of the importance for late elementary students and early middle school students to know about money. This website helps students learn about how to plan/create a budget, what tipping is and what is an appropriate amount, how to buy items with coupons, why and how one uses discounts and percentages, and the list goes on and on. This website is just full of information that is even a great resource for pre-teachers to explore and review!

IXL math is a website with unlimited math questions in more than 1,000 topics, for students to improve their skills and confidence and always have new challenges to meet. I like that the website has PK-6 organized so that you can search that grade level and then find the list of all of the skills students learn in that particular grade. State standards for each state are also given. All of IXL's dynamic math practice skills are aligned to state standards, making it easy to find the right skills to practice. IXL assesses students' performance on each standard instantly, so you'll have all the information you need to prepare them for standardized testing. You can click on your state to view your state's standards and start practicing.

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."

Coolmath4kids has a number of resources and activities for students, parents, and teachers. I would recommend saving this for a resource that you can add on your future classroom website. There are multitude of games for your students as well as 'lessons' that kids and parents can use to work on math together at home!

This is a website for teachers. It provides teachers with worksheets already made to print. It does not mean that you have to use the worksheet exactly the way it is, however you can adapt it to how you want the worksheet to look. It would be a great start for finding an idea.

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 is a great website for children to go on and practice different concepts, from patterns to addition and subtraction, anything you want. This website also has mini-lessons and help pages for students if they are struggling with their work and need a different explanation.
