Math Made Easy(er)
Math Playground
Math Playground is filled with free on-line math games, logic puzzles, step-by-step instructional videos, math practice, and a variety of problem solving activities.
Some of the logic games that make a nice break for "kids" of all ages.
Seeing Math
Seeing Math combines content modules in algebra with professional development for sustained learning environments. Various applets can be used to customize the modules. All of the content is very clear.
Word Problems For Kids
Word Problems is a collection of traditional "story" problems, wrapped in a "hip" context--a motivator for students who ask, "Why do we study this math stuff?"
Math Studio
MathStudio brings unprecedented math power to your web browser or mobile device. Capable of doing everything from basic expressions to solving quadratic equations to graphing to data analysis and more.
A simple interface but impressive results.
The Geometry Center
The Geometry Center at the University of Minnesota (see apps and gallery) offers Java applets and interactivity for students to construct graphical displays after solving math formulae. Not necessarily creative, the graphical representation is a helpful visualization tool. It's funding is problematical.
Webmath Advanced Guidance for Math Problems
Webmath has adopted a fanciful context for traditional problems. This site is composed of many math "fill-in-forms" into which you can type the math problem you're working on. The user submits a problem, such as what would a house and tree look like if you were traveling the speed of light, and the site offers the solution, many times with a graph or picture. A good refresher for teachers, too.
These sites have challenging problems which can be integrated into other units. You can assign web site problems individually to students who finish their other work.
