One web-based educational resource that I was introduced to, early on, in this course was Ask Dr. Math. Ask Dr. Math is different that many of the other math web based educational resources as it is not a "fun" site - it is very "matter of fact" and gets right down to the informative answer. This web site was one of the web sites that we were asked to do the web site evaluation and is a great resource for both math teachers and math students alike. This web site offers many things - it offers grade appropriate explanations for basic math skills as well as in depth answers to open ended difficult, at times - somewhat mind boggling questions. The site handles questions from the elementary level to the college level. There is also a blog area where teachers pose questions, answer questions or discuss experiences. Students can also Ask Dr. Math a question. This site is a terrific educational resource.
Another web-based educational resource that is appealing is Brain Pop. This site provides many math topics and presents these topics in a manner that is appealing to the student. This site is both fun and formative at the same time. It may be a site that students are more apt to visit in comparison to Ask Dr. Math because it is more appealing to their senses.
