GENERAL
A Math Dictionary for Kids by Jenny Eather is a fabulous, interactive dictionary for students with over 500 mathematical terms in simple language. I have used this site for explaining math terms in kid friendly language, for word walls, as a learning center, and taped in student math books or on desks, to aid memory. This is a must visit site.
Math is Fun by Rod Pierce is a fabulous site I use when I need a refresher on a math topic or when researching and adapting material for students. This site explains math concepts from K to HS is easy terms. In many cases, he explains the concepts and terms multiple ways.
Web Math is another must visit site that clearly explains math. Topics include General Math, K-8 Math, Algebra, Plots and Geometry, Tri and Calculus. This site has interactive learning sections. One section is on comparing fractions. Input your fractions and the site converts the fractions to shaded circles and explains why one is larger than the other.
Rain Forest Math Ideas by Jenny Eather provides wonderful math practice from grades K through 6. She includes number systems, operations and calculations, strategies and processes, patterns and algebra, measurement, space and geometry, chance and probability, data analysis and money. Since this site is from Australia, the only draw back is the use of the metric system in measurement activities.
