Kids Internet Resources - Math

Are all of you getting geared up for Do Nothing But Read Day? I hope so! I know that I've got a nice long book lined up for my afternoon. :)

Meanwhile, I think it's time for another installment of Kids Internet Resources. Today's topic: Math.

A+ Math
This website has lots of great flash cards for those of us who need to brush up on our basic math skills - especially those pesky multiplication tables. There's also worksheets and a homework checker for more drills and math help, as well as a few fun math games.

Ask Dr. Math
Do you have a math question that's really stumping you? If so, then you can e-mail the students at Drexel University who run this website with your questions (just make sure that your question hasn't already been answered on the website first). This is a great place to get information on more complicated math skills, including theories and formulas.

Math Playground
Probably my favorite website of this bunch, Math Playground offers more games, flash cards, and worksheets for kids who need to brush up on their skills. But what I really love are the videos which walk you through how to solve different kinds of problems. This is great for when you just need to see exactly how something such as reducing fractions works one more time, or maybe need to have it explained in a voice other than your teacher's.
