But how can you help your kids pass their mental math exams with ease, develop a real head for numbers, and even learn to enjoy math? Mental Math Master contains many free tutorials to show anyone how to add, subtract, multiply, divide, figure percentages, fractions and decimals, all without using a calculator or paper and pencil.

This is probably the best science/sports site that I have seen! It presents every aspect of soccer in an understandable, scientific, and hilarious manner. Kids (and adults) can't help but learn as they read this site. Parents, coaches, teachers, kids, and Barbara...DON'T miss this one!

Try the growing UK site especially set up for International Maths Year to get more kids into Maths. It's got some nice ideas I think your readers will like.

This does not focus so much on the math aspect of the golden ratio as it does on the more human aspects. There is a glossary to help younger kids along with more difficult terms, but for the most part, the site is for late elementary aged students and up. The section on aesthetics and the golden ratio is especially strong, relating the principles of the number to architecture such as the Great Pyramids of Egypt.

Biographies of the world's most accomplished mathemeticians, and a fun quiz!

The site has science and math sections in two pathways: a practice path that is fun and learning-oriented, and the REAL Challenge that simulates a test environment.
