**Title:** IXL Math **Comments****:** This site is a wonderful resource for students and teachers because it covers math levels from Pre-K to sixth grade. It has varied activities for each level ranging from telling time to finishing pictographs. It also has a spot to make awards and see report cards of how you are doing. The most pressing limitation of this site is that is has a lot going on outside of the math questions the student is to be paying attention to and I fear that the other links could be distracting. I could use this in the classroom by asking the kids to go to a specific section that gives them more practice on what we are learning in the classroom and have them print off reports so that I could see how they are improving or what areas that a specific student might need more help in.

I believe this site is great for learning because it has many math subject areas where students from Pre-K to 6th grade can get help with. As I was on the site I played a couple of math games, and I was very impressed how accurate they kept up with your time you spent on a problem. I also liked how on this site I could put my mouse over a math topic and see a question from that heading. It was useful because If I didn't know what a combination problem looked like, I could see an example before clicking onto the link. The only negative I've seen on this site is at the bottom page. Just like Melissa stated at the beginning, there are links that you can click on that will navigate a student away from the page. (ABK)

This is a really great math site for Pre-k to 6th grade students and teachers. I really like how the site separates everything by grade levels. This makes it easier for both teachers and students to find the appropriate topics for their specific grade level. However, there was a minor limitation that I found with this site. This site has some links that can be distracting to students. I would definitely use this website in my classroom in the future. There are many activities on the site that my students could benefit from. I could use this site to make learning math more fun in the classroom. MJ.

This website has a lot of information on it. I would not use this website for my students, unless I had a direct link for my students to go to. The reason is that while I was on this site, I did not know where to start or how to find information. And if i were a student I wouldn't want to have to search for the assignment my teacher had given me. I would want it to be easy to get to. Neither the less, after I was on the site and was able to find out information, the math problems were very fun and great for learning and teaching. (ABK)

 * Comments:** This site also is a great teaching tool for students to use because it again has a range of activities for ages ranging from four to fifteen. This website incorporates math into games that kids can play to strengthen their math skills outside of the class. The website does have many links to get to the games you want to play so I would have to choose specific links for them to go to without letting the students explore. Even though the site is not the easiest to navigate I would still be able to use it as a resource for learning in my classroom. I would pick the games I want them to play and have them go to a few and use the math concepts we had learned previously in class.
