This is a math Web site dedicated to serving the needs of students as well as teachers. Students are able to work on challenging problems which stress critical thinking skills. Teachers have access to lesson plans. I am a teacher and have seen the students completely engaged and excited while at this site. They have fun and more importantly are using higher level thinking skills.

This cool site lets parents, teachers and (perhaps) math-happy kids design and print out their own math worksheets. Simply select the type of problem, define the range of numbers to be used, then click on a button. My daughter does 1 a day, and its amazing how much she has improved this summer!!

As I was surfing the Net trying to find interesting and educational worksheets to supplement my curriculum, I discovered www.mathstories.com. Many things attracted me to the Web site. Here are just a few: 1. There are many math skills on this site including word problems which are hard to find in a text much less on a web site. 2. It is very well organized and it is user friendly.. 3. It is free to all teachers and parents.
