 * Mathematics Websites**

[] This interactive demonstrates the main components of geometric shapes and rules through text, images, models, and simulations.

[] This website offers interactive tools to facilitate exploration of math concepts.

[] Math Open Conference represents geometry concepts visually as a way to complement text definitions and descriptions.

[] This website offers games to younger children that help them understand basic mathematics concepts.

[] This interactive website allows students to figure out the rules when numbers are given in the beginning of an equation and at the end. Sometimes they are given the number, and the rule, and they have to find the end number, etc.

[] I absolutely adore this website (placed by Kristina Marenic). I love the way it allows the student to visually break the problem down using blocks without having numbers involved at first. The visual representation of how to break down the word problems makes it easier to solve and understand. This site offers engaging games and activities that students can find meaningful. The world problems used involve real-life situations that a child at this particular level will and probably has come across. As a teacher, it would be easy to have the students watch the tutorial as a whole group and then break off into small groups to work together in solving the problems as well as playing a game. There are lessons embedded in this website that a teacher can use as a supplementary resource in addition to their other instructional activities.

This website (placed by Daniel Salvatore) is primarily geared for Kindergarten-Grade 2 offering games for children to play that keeps them engaged. It offers lessons involving basic counting skills through the use of songs and other engaging and exploratory activities. It helps them navigate through the page (as the computer may still be a bit new to some smaller children) by displaying an arrow for them to click onto in order to proceed within the activity. This website could be used by the teacher across content (language arts) as an engaging tool to keep students motivated to learn as it provides great pictures and activities that are age appropriate and inviting and allows the students an opportunity to break away from the traditional classroom environment into a world that they can connect with.
