 * Title:** Math Playground
 * Site URL:** @http://www.mathplayground.com/index.html
 * Comments:** Math Playground is a great site to use for interactive math learning. This site contains multiple math games for students to play. From algebra equations to story problems, many different areas of math can be explored. A downside to this site is that it could be distracting. I would use this site in the classroom as a type or reward to the students. Earning time to use this site would make the students think they are playing, while at the same time learning.

I also looked at the math playground site, but realized that perhaps it was geared to a younger crowd of students? It almost seemed a little too childish for high school kids. (H.A.B.)

This is a great site for students. It is geared towards elementary/middle school students. This site provides practice, games, and videos to help students learn. A teacher would be able to show videos in the classroom to help amplify the lesson they are trying to teach, or the teacher could take the students to a computer lab and have them use this website to practice their multiplication tables. Overall this is a very good site, it helps make learning math fun for younger students. A.M.T


 * Title:** PBS Teachers
 * Site URL:** @http://www.pbs.org/teachers/classroom/6-8/math/resources/
 * Comments:** The PBS Teachers website offers many resources to a teacher. This site in particular, offers a variety of aids to the middle school math teacher. This site offers different activities to use in the class room, as well as offers help in lesson planning. A downside to the site is it is somewhat challenging to navigate, and makes it difficult if you have a certain activity in mind that you are searching for. This site would be useful to a teacher should they be looking for an activity to use in the classroom, either interactive online, or an offline activity to use.

This is a very cool website. This site would be great to help gather ideas for the classroom. I thought it was pretty easy to navigate, you just need an idea of what your looking for before going to the site. There are many links for many of the subjects in math and you can click on which grade/age group you are teaching. There is also an option to choose what media you want to use whether it be online or offline. This site can also be used for other subjects, not just math. Overall I think this would be a very helpful site for teachers looking for ideas as to how to present information to the class. A.M.T
