Web Formulas - 0 views

    Summary This web site is a respectable source to find all formulas, even those that don't deal with math (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology). This website is amazing because formals are stationary and so they do not change much. My use for this site was to have the kids to find the formula and this web site even had worksheets that the kids could mess around with and test out what the surface area was with each different object. Overview This web site is very plain to the eye but is very helpful when trying to acquire a formula. The advantages to this web site are that it has every formula that you could think of and it is in a format that is very user friendly (Tables). But the one down side is that the web site doesn't show you how to work these formulas.

    Summary This web site is an amazing source to tell you the answer but it doesn't do a very good job in explaining. This web site is good to use as a starting point to get the answer but to understand the process in doing that you will have to go to another site to obtain that information. My purpose in using this web site was so when the children were test their own work that they could get a quick response. Overview This web site works well when you are trying to find a specific answer to a question but it gives limited feedback on how they were able to obtain the answer. The design was more for an adult and the web site was set to be more efficient than to make informational learning fun. The advantage to this site is that you can get the answer back quickly and but efficient with your time. But the disadvantage is that to get more information on the subject you would have to look on another web site for the process.

    Summary This web site is a good site with a lot of information that it is made for children that are around the age of being in middle school. My use for this web site was for 7th grades so it had all the information that I needed. It was perfect for my use and it had great information on surface area. I just needed this site to teach the children about surface area; what it is, how it is found and why it is useful. All of these areas were met by this web site. Overview If your kids are younger than it might be hard for them to understand and if they are older, the information might be a little basic for them in the stage of learning they are in. The advantages of this web site were that it had a lot of good and useful information but the disadvantage is that it is made for one specific age group so you are only able to use it for a grade or two. If it fits it your age group that you are teaching then it is an astounding source because it gets very detailed on each subject. Even the design of the web site is set for a middle school age group.
