| Word from the
WebWise: |
Math Goodies offers a free, educational area with
42 interactive math lessons. This site uses in-depth problems to help students in fifth
through eighth grades acquire the necessary skills to be our next engineers,
astrophysicists and computer scientists. |
|
An invaluable section of the site, "Math
Chat", contains a set of message boards offering a wide variety of subjects such as
"Homeschooling Support", where home-schooling families can share information;
"Real World Connections", which discusses practical applications of mathematics;
and "Homework Help", which has real teachers who help students with a variety of
math problems on line. |
| Family Activity: |
An avalanche of printable crosswords and word
searches can be found under the [Puzzles] section. The challenges give the entire clan a
fun way to stay sharp with math and nomenclature. The puzzles fit nicely on a printed
sheet and would make a great time killer for long car rides. |

synopsis: |
Like it or not, students need to recognize the
importance of math in their lives. Math Goodies does an excellent job providing a
safe haven to quickly sharpen skills. Mrs. Glosser keeps banner ads off lesson pages
and carefully monitors message boards for inappropriate content. |
