MathAids Waddie Love 10/13/2014 Overview: The website has over 80 different math topics. And over 980 unique worksheets that are randomly generated by their worksheet generators. They are completely free for classes across the board. These math worksheets are a great resource for Kindergarten through 12th grade. They come with prepared answer Keys. All resources are easily accessed. Content: It is primarily just a compilation of worksheets that are random. Goof resource for teachers to use so you don't have to spend time generating worksheets by hand and memory. If you need it more customable it is and option for you as the teacher and can create a sheet for your needs. Design: There are ads preset on the page but they are not distracting. It looks dense at first glance but it is quick to navigate to the section you need and the information.

Mitchell Sept. 5, 2011 Overview: Math Playground is an interactive website that has a bunch of different games for kids of all levels. It contains games, word problems, logic puzzles, and videos. The site was designed by a teacher who's class needed a fun way to practice math facts. The site provides great opportunities for students to work on problem solving, math art to real world math. Content: The games that are listed all have great educational value and are based on specific concepts. The second tab is word problems. These are organized by grade level and cover many different levels. Some of the games can be selected by certain topics, others are general and cover specific topics. The problems all have a "Need Help?" button that helps explain the question if students are lost. This site also contains logic problems that help to get kids thinking, a very important skill for kids. The most valuable tab is the math videos tab that helps explain different topics for kids who need it. Design: The layout of this site is very inviting and open for students. It is easy to navigate and fun to use. The pictures are inviting and help to understand what the games are about. The only downfall is the ads that are on the top and bottom of the pages. These are easily mistaken as part of the site. Kids might have a hard time knowing what is part of the site and what is not. The colors are very nice and would draw the attention of students very easily.

This is an intended audience from kindergarten to 7th grade, each game is classified in a group of games designated for a certain grade and subject matter. The purpose is to give students a fun way to apply what they are learning. I liked the activities and I think the games themselves were very good and user friendly. They really hit on the math topic and some of them are really challenging. I also like that they can compete with others or there are other games where you can go at your own pace.
