Vectorkids provides interactive math tools that allow children to have fun while they learn. Scoreboards help the students gage progress while practicing math flashcards. A teacher providing feedback to vectorkids stated that interactive websites such as this will make a concept “click” for many students. Timed flashcards help students prepare for standard curriculum in the classroom. The site also has an interactive multiplication table and a US State Capitals game. The site features quality learning tools over quantity. Positive feedback from students and teaching staff allows me the opportunity to rate vectorkids high.
