Subject matter/grade level: Math content from elementary to algebra to geometry and grades k-12

This is a great website I've actually used personally while studying for my math praxis exam. It has a variety of different subject matter and great teachings on each as well. For practice, it has great interactive worksheets and example problems to work through and then quizzes you can take and retake to test you knowledge. It also gave me great ideas on how to teach certain subjects to my students in the classroom.

Subject matter/grade level: Middle/High school level math

This website allows you to enter in practice problems and receive solutions and the step by step process to solve for the correct solution. In addition, it offers a variety of example problems in 20 different subjects and the steps to take to solve for each example problem. This offers a great way to practice multitudes of skills to develop skills necessary to master the subject material. This is not a free website however; It is either 20 dollars a month or 100 for the year. It allows you to preview the website but in order to see the steps of how to solve the problems you need to pay.

Subject matter/grade level: all levels and subjects

This is a great website that offers games that give practice in different math subjects and content areas. I spent some time on this website trying the different games and they really engaged my critical thinking skills. There are multiples games for each math subject and grade level and I think the games are challenging enough to keep the students attention and help them to enjoy what they are doing. Each game also listed what math standard they were designed to offer practice for which I thought was really cool as well.

Grades 3-12 and all subject matter

This website offers more than just mathematics education. It covers a wide variety of school subjects and offers a great deal of information in each subject. For the math section, it covers K-12 Mathematics and has lessons, practice problems, video tutorials and tools to use for parents or tutors to help aid in understanding. It would be a useful source of information to use to aid in their lesson planning or to point students to for practice outside of the classroom.

Grades 3-12 Mathematics

This website has many tutorials for mathematics grades 3-12. It has so many different video tutorials to choose from and they are done in a great way. Their explanations are easy to follow and the visual aspect of each video is conducive to learning. In each video, someone walks through - step by step - how to solve each problem. This would be a great resource for anyone trying to learn the subject matter in a greater capacity.
