Figure This Math Challenges for Families (English and Spanish) has 80 real world (middle school and up) reasons to use math, along with a step by step guide on how to solve the problems. Included are both a teacher and family corner for using the resources on the website. Among the options are ideas on how parents can help their children at home.
Interactivate is a set of free, online courseware for exploration in science and mathematics for grades 3 - 12. . Choose from activities, lessons, and discussions. Learners can choose from 157 Interactive Activities, a Dictionary and 48 visual Tools. Instructors can pick from 108 Lessons and 153 Discussions that model teaching a concept, by using a dialogue between a mentor and a student.
Thinking Blocks can help word problems come to life. Teachers and students can watch a video and hear an explanation of how to use visual components to solve a word problem. A math tutor uses blocks to visualize math stories, refers back to the story problem and then solves the word problem with a number operation. Choose from Addition and Substation; Multiplication and Division; Ratio and Proportion. (It may be useful for some students to have a calculator available as they watch the word problem being solved or use the independent practice option.)
Math Apprentice The path to anything you want to be!
The goal of this project is to connect math with 16 real world careers. Middle school students play the role of an intern at one of eight companies in a growing metropolis. Students are greeted by an employee of the company who then explains the math behind the job. They may then choose to solve specific problems or explore math concepts on their own.
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.
