REVIEW:
This is a great math and science site for teachers and students. It provides teachers reference materials that include a glossary of terms and questions and answers. The hands-on activities can be downloaded in .pdf format and include a teacher overview, standards, lab pages, related activities and sample answer keys. Students can find help with their homework. There are even videotaped science lectures you can borrow! The interactive math and science games and puzzles will keep students engaged for hours. For instance "Who Wants to Win $1,000,000?" Requires students to answer fifteen math and science questions correctly and become a (pretend) millionaire! The math games such as Speed Math, Mystery Math and the Place Value Game are a fun way for students to practice basic math skills and have a great time doing it.
