Action packed math site for elementary and middle school students featuring math games, math word problems, math worksheets, logic puzzles, and math videos.

The site is aimed at students who wish to learn mathematics independently by investigation, and at teachers to use in the classroom with an interactive whiteboard, smartboard or classroom computers. The applets are virtual manipulatives for those who like to learn visually and kinaesthetically, by doing things and watching what happens. They are split into two age groups 11 to 16 years and 16 to 19 years. The videos are for review and revision of the topics, inside or outside the classroom, and for those who prefer a visual and aural learning style.
