REVIEW:
This site includes math lessons and activities on such topics as acute angles, equivalent fractions, and polygons, all written in language that students will understand. Students will also enjoy practicing skills with the interactive puzzles and quizzes offered or creating an alien mask by plotting coordinates on graph paper. Just for fun, there is a JavaScript version of the Tower of Hanoi game and WinLogo programs to try. A monthly newsletter and a discussion board are also included.
