"Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness;
but direct them to it by what amuses their minds.
so that you may be better able to discover, with
accuracy, the peculiar bent of the genius of each"

Math Internet Resources for StudentsNational Council of Teachers of Mathematics Lessons, activities that are correlated to the NCTM standards, a weekly problem, and NCTM journals that relate to Elementary, Middle and High School. Library of Virtual Manipulatives http://matti.usu.edu/nlvm/nav/index.html Is a clearinghouse of uniquely interactive, web-based virtual learning tools for mathematics instruction with K-12 emphasis. Illumination http://illuminations.nctm.org/ the goal of the I-math investigation is to give both teachers and students a resource for interactive math activities. It has java-based interactive activities, video clips and multimedia to reinforce standards. Math Forum Great site for problems of the week. Students can obtain help from Dr. Math.
Number SenseArcytech http://www.arcytech.org/java/ Java applets for several manipulatives including pattern blocks, base-ten blocks, and Cuisenaire rods.
http://www.math.com This site is setup in four steps: First glace (explanation of the concept), In Depth (shows most common mistakes students make), Examples (practice), Workout (interactive). This set up is available from basic math to calculus.
Fraction Bars Applet http://arcytech.org/java/fractions/ This is an interactive applet designed to create fraction bars. This applet can also be used to explore equivalent fractions, decimals, and percents.
http://www.k111.k12.il.us/king/math.htm This sites provides many activities for all band strands. It also has virtual manipulatives that engage students in learning through discovery and exploration. Visual Fractions http://www.visualfractions.com/ This sites aims to reduce fraction anxiety in adults and students by helping the user to picture fractions and the operations that can be performed on them.
Math Games http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/mathsfile/gameswheel.html Short games with two characters. You spin the wheel and the outcome could a game in Number, Algebra, Data, an d Shapes. Very interactive: Students do math as they play a game. http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/ This is web project that aims middle school mathematics. It has interactive activities for all strands. Explore Math http://www.explorelearning.com/index.cfm Interactive applets and activities that create real-time correlations between equations and graphs. It has many activities for all middle sch ool strands including Algebra. http://www.neirtec.org/activities/math_portal.htm Interesting web site. It has all strands for grades 6, 7 and Algebra I. Great virtual manipulatives site to keep in mind.
