 * Title:** Math is Fun
 * Site URL:** http://www.mathisfun.com/
 * Comments:** This is a great math site for an elementary teacher to use with his or her students. It supports teaching and learning because it covers several mathematical topics. There are informational pages, puzzles, quizzes, and games. However, there are some limitations found on the site. The site was made for not only students in elementary school, but for students in middle and high school also. Not all the information on the site can be used for these elementary students. This site also contains some advertisements that can be distracting for these younger students. I would definitely use this site in the classroom to further explain a specific topic in math.

This is a good site because it gives students fun activities to do dealing with math. I believe this shows students that math does not have to be boring it can also be fun and interesting. I would use things from this site in a classroom because the site gives me different ideas to do. I can use different little objects to show students how to add or subtract or whatever area of math I am covering. -CJ

The website was visually stimulating and had links that were easy to navigate throughout the site. I beilieve that this would be a great site to use with students because it offers many different activites for all areas of math. It also is an appropriate site for various ages. I would have like to seen more of the page taken up by the actual website rather than boardered with ads. Other than that I feel that it would be a great teaching tool for the classroom. ~ MS


 * Title:** Count Us In
 * Site URL:** http://www.abc.net.au/countusin/
 * Comments:** This is another great math site for an elementary teacher to use with his or her students. It supports teaching and learning because it allows the web user to learn simple math by playing games and doing activities. This site is only targeted towards students in elementary school. Another advantage to this site is that there are no advertisements to district younger students. One limitation, however, is that older elementary students may not find the topics in the site very challenging. The site is targeted towards the younger students in an elementary school. This site could be used in the classroom in order to make learning math more fun.

This is also a very fun way to show students that you can use math for anything and everything that you do has to deal with math. I would use this in a classroom before I start teaching students about a new assignment to get them aware of what they will be dealing with. I also can let students go on this site before a test to get them a little warmed up before a btest. - CJ
