The Math Page is a great site for any high school math class! The site provides definitions, examples, and much more that allows students to interact with math in a fun way. Each subject is broken down into chapters so students can easily find where they are in class. The chapters provide students with the chance to work some problems on their own. Once they have attempted the problem, they can scroll over the red boxes to reveal the correct answer. I would really like my students to use this site because they can have immediate feedback as to whether or not they can reason through the problems correctly.
This site is completely free, and they even have a free app on the App Store and Android Market. I am not sure how much I would use this resource in class, but it would be a great way to supplement what is taught during the day when the students have questions at home. From what I have seen, there would be no need for parental supervision, but parents may want to sit in on the action since this site does an excellent job of breaking each step down.
Overall, I think this site can help those that still have questions when they leave school as well as those who really understand the material by providing easy-to-follow steps for each topic and challenge questions, too. I know I will be promoting this site for my students all year long!

ReplyDeleteThis site is awesome! I love learning about cool math sites that can help students practice. This site is extremely easy to navigate and the topics are very clearly laid out. You are right about the instantaneous feedback... floating your cursor over the covered answer is a good way for students to gauge their understanding level. Thanks for sharing!
