MATHEMATICS

   
           
      Math.comThe http://www.math.com/ website provides lessons and resources for math teachers, parents, and students of all ages. The references are very useful, such as English-Spanish math translations and the glossary of math terms. Kids can use the site to get homework help; play games; do practice worksheets; find tables, formulas, and resources; and generally get past the reservations some students have about learning math. Users can also generate algebra worksheets online and prepare for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT. Teachers can use the site to create lesson plans, locate useful resources, find ways to address state math standards, and assess career information.
