teaching style. This site provides links for students and teachers to information about learning styles, study skills tips,
and ways to reduce math anxiety and gives the students access to tutorials, algebra assignments, math videos, and a forum

http://www.murderousmaths.co.uk/
This website is based on the book series, "Murderous Maths," by Kjartan Poskitt, who uses humor, tricks,
stories, illusions, puzzles and more to entice kids to learn math. This companion website offers many math games, logic puzzles,
and tricks from the book, in an interactive format online. There is even an activity with instructions for making a math toy.
When you get to the site it looks a little chaotic. To get to the "goods" that are stashed here, click on "full
contents page" in the text introduction on the home page. A new page opens with a menu of nearly everything that is available
on the site. Scroll down to "Professor Fiendish's Tricks and Games." Click on it and a new page opens with the welcome message:
"Do you want to be a mind reader? Or maybe have a brain that does lightning calculations? Or maybe you just want
to make your friends feel silly! Here are a few of my sneakiest tricks, and don't worry - you don't need to be a maths genius
to do them!"

When you buy a car, follow a recipe, or decorate your home, you're using math principles. People have been
using these same principles for thousands of years, across countries and continents. Whether you're sailing a boat off the
coast of Japan or building a house in Peru, you're using math to get things done.
How can math be so universal?
First, human beings didn't invent math concepts; we discovered them. Also, the language of math is numbers, not English or
German or Russian. If we are well versed in this language of numbers, it can help us make important decisions and perform
everyday tasks. Math can help us to shop wisely, buy the right insurance, remodel a home within a budget, understand population
growth, or even bet on the horse with the best chance of winning the race.
Join us as we explore how math can
help us in our daily lives. In this exhibit, you'll look at the language of numbers through common situations, such as playing
games or cooking. Put your decision-making skills to the test by deciding whether buying or leasing a new car is right for
you, and predict how much money you can save for your retirement by using an interest calculator.

This site offer interactive practice for not only long division,
but long addition, subtraction and
multiplication as well. You get to set the number of digits you want to use, and then simply type in the solutions in each
step of the equation - along with the final answer, as each new problem is generated.
While the interactive,
long equation pages are a neat feature of this site, you'll discover that the focus (on the main page) is on interactive math
flashcards for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Click on any one to begin, set the specifications you
want to use, and random cards will be generated. Simply type in the answer. If your answer is correct, the flash card will
change color. If it doesn't change color then simply click on BACKSPACE to erase the answer and try again.
BEFORE
YOU BEGIN, it is EXTREMELY HELPFUL to read the "How To Use This Page" directions that you will find near the bottom of the
menu on the left side of your screen.
You will also find an addition table, times table, quizzes, and interactive
practice pages for fractions, decimals, percentages, exponents, radicals, square roots, negative numbers and more.

http://library.thinkquest.org/20991/alg2/index.htmlWelcome to the Algebra II/Trigonometry portion of the site! On this and the following pages, we'll try to
clear up some common problems people have with intermediate algebra (Algebra II) and trigonometry (which ought to have a class
of its own just to learn how to pronounce it). Everything from solving basic equations to the trigonometric ratios are
covered.
After each section, there is an optional (though highly recommended) quiz that you can take to see if you've fully
mastered the concepts.
