Here is the link to my Website Evaluation Rubrics By: Erika Voss** []
 * AAA Math
 * Comments:** This website is a great site for kids to join because it has lots of different activities on it and they are easy to understand.The website has problems for almost every math level from algebra to statistics. it has lessons in every level and the website explains all the problems to you step by step and if the the student thinks they understand the problems then it comes up with problems for the kids to do on there own. It is very simple to use and accessible to get to. The only limitations that i can see is that it is trying to sell a cd that has even more of the problems and games but the site allows you to use them as much as possible. the website is still very resourceful for teaching. I would use it in a classroom by using the problems for the specific lesson and have the kids try the problems. It could be very useful for visual learners to be able to read the problems and then practice them as many times as they need. I think its a pretty good website, i messed around with it and it even helped me.

//This site is another great one too. This site provides tons of information on how to solve many different problems in each of he different categories. I like how this website shows how to solve any problem if any student are having any trouble in any category. This site is one of the best ones that could help teachers to make lesson plans and could get feed backs from other teachers about any lesson plans. This site also have some games for the students to enjoy and learn how to do there math assignments at the same time. JS// By: Erika Voss** [|math mastery]
 * Math Mastery
 * Comments:** This site is a good site for students to practice their knowledge on their math skills. the games are easy and fun. the site is probably for students in grades 2nd through 5th. it has plenty of activities for kids to practice and the site also gives math games for families to play so parents can help their kids while doing something they are enjoying. the only negatives that i see in the site is that it is trying to sell online math games but it has plenty of free games that could help students. When i was in elementary we had timed math tests to see how much we could get done. this site has a great practice game for something like that. i would use it for students to practice to see how many problems they could answer before the time is out, and it gets them used to the pressure of being timed. it is a pretty good site that

//This is a pretty good website showing tons of information that a teacher could use in there classroom. This site provides videos to show a step by step instructions of how to solve any math problems. This site also have some fun activity ideas for any teacher who wants to have activities for the students to do instead of just doing problems from there text book. The site also provides family activities so the students can get involved with there parents or to have the parents to spend time with there children. JS// (Comment: This is a really good site. It is very organized and I think it would be really fun to use. After using the preview and playing one of the games I think it could be used for lower level students and they would get a lot out of it. I agree with your comment on how it could be used at home to get the parents involved which I think is really important. I think the activities are interesting and would be a good break from the boring, everyday, straight from the book learning. DL)

Here are my Website Evaluation Rubrics: [] []
 * Kids Health **
 * By: Mallory Slate **
 * Comments: ** This site is such a great site for teachers and learners. There are games, easy recipes, a kid’s glossary, and many more things. Honestly I don’t think that there is anything wrong with this site. Everything is easy to read and understand, there are not advertisements covering the page, and it is laid out very well for younger aged kids. I would use this website in my classroom a lot. If I was teaching at a younger age then the students could use this website during free time so they could explore and play games. If I was teaching older kids I might not use it as much but I think it would still be helpful. I may use the glossary to help explain some terms that they do not understand. All in all, I think that this website is a very good one and will be very helpful in the classroom.
 * Kathy Schrock’s Guide for Educators **
 * By: Mallory Slate **
 * Comments: ** This site is a very good site for teachers and older aged students. This site has many things that students in grades 6-12 would love to do. There is a calorie counter, a dole five-a-day game, and information on understanding nutrition lables. The only downfall of this site is that there is a lot of information and is a little hard to read. Also, unlike the other site there are a couple of advertisements on the side of the site but they do not overpower the site. I would use this site to get the studnets involved such as having them find out there BMI’s and having them do the calorie counter. Also I would let them play the game because I think it is a very fun and informative game. All in all, I know that I will be using this website in the future and know that it will be extreamly helpful.

Here is the link to my website evaluation rubrics: Reviewed by: Dana Landreth** [|Regents Exam Prep] This site is great for students to get additional practice in the areas of algebra and trigonometry. It was designed for a particular exam (Regents exam) but contains useful information for anyone looking for supplemental instruction in those areas. The site provides a section where the student can view an explanation of how to do something, then gives a practice section for the student to do a sample problem, select the answer and then they are told if they are correct. It also has the option for students to see the explanation/solution to the problem they are working on. The site also offers a section for teacher use mainly consisting of worksheets to print off and give the students after teaching them the lesson in class. The site is also helpful in the fact that it has buttons on each page that explains how to use the calculator on that problem- if needed. All topics are separated into main and subtopics, which makes the site very easy to use. If the students completed their work and I wanted them to continue to do math work I could send them somewhere with computers and have them do the practice. Also, if a student needed extra practice with a certain subject they could have the site as a resource to use on their own time, or I could print off the worksheets for those students who needed extra help. It would also be a great tool if I had the class separated into groups- one group who had a good handle on a concept and one that needed additional help. I could provide a more in-depth lesson to those who needed it while the other students worked on the site to get more practice, or even get ahead if they could follow the website well enough. The limitations are that the site is geared for a specific exam and might not be completely useful, as well as it not providing a great deal of interactive examples. The site it also not very entertaining, but with high school students (my intended area of teaching) that may be perfectly acceptable. The other draw back to the site is that it is not a big source, not something well heard of so it cannot be seen as completely reputable. However, aside from that the site is very helpful and I plan to use it in my classes- I’ve even already showed it to a friend who is student teaching in high school math.(COMMENT: i think that this site is pretty good as well it has alot of games and information that is helpful to kids, i think that i would show them this site on a game day or something and have them find games and play that would still help their learning. the only thing i see that could be confusing is that its not very organized and i can see little kids getting confused with the order of the page, but for the most part it looks like something you could really use! Erika Voss) Reviewed by: Dana Landreth** [|Student Resources (Math Bits)] This site would be very useful for a fun activity. It would be ideal to give students a break one day before a break, after a big exam, or even just as a reward for doing something good in class. The site has games set up where the students are required to answer the questions accurately, and then put the answers together to link them to a new site to do the same thing. The site is a game, an exploration, which still incorporates learning and the concepts from class. The site would be ideal as I said to give students a break, or even on a day when a substitute teacher is in the room who doesn’t have a great handle on the material. The site also provides helpful links for students including online tutors, more online games, and study tips. It also has links I could use for more ideas. The downfall is that the site itself only has two games for this particular area of study. Also, the site doesn’t have any contact information, but seems to be reputable because “mathbits” is the creator of the site. Other than that, the site isn’t filled with any advertisements unless it is under links for other useful sites and is easy to use and fun to accomplish. There are even certificates to print off if you complete the games successfully. (coment: i agree this site looks like it would be fun to use. it has lots of games that would be fun and benifit their learning. it has alot of links to other sites with games oon it as well, you could have the students mess around with it and find games to play. Erika voss)(COMMENT: I really enjoyed this site. The games were really fun to play and I had alot of fun! I think that this site will be a great site for kids of all ages. MS)

//This website provides tons of information for students and teachers. This site provides each of the different category or I should say different math headings of what a student wants to learn more of or a teacher to view examples for the students. This site also has many games to get the students more involve or interest in math. Puzzles on the other hand can give a little challenge for students to think about what they need to use to solve a puzzle or puzzles off of this website, or they might need to have a second look at any of the brain teasers, which could be a little more challenging and fun at the same time. This site has tons of information that a teacher can used to get students more interest in math or to show them there is more things into math than what the students could think of.//======

**AAA Math**
[|AAA Math] Comments:** //This site provides many things such as learning how to solve a problem or to get practice problems to solve problems that any students could do before a big test comes in the next few days or just to get a little more practice in what you enjoy doing in class. This site has many headings/links that students or teachers can click on to get extra problems to solve or to get more help to get a step by step instructions on how to solve a problem. This site also provides lesson plans for teachers who could possible use in there own class. This site also gives feed backs right on the web page. Also the site have some kind of a game to see how fast a student can solve as many problems as possible in a short amount of time. The site provides each different grade level and each different section of math.// (Comment: I really liked this site. My favorite was how the site was set up. It was organized very well and was easy to navigate. I think that it would be a very easy site for kids of all ages. MS) (Comment: I really liked this site. I think it's really cool, and something I was looking for in finding my sites, that there is an explanation of how to do the process, then there is a section to practice. It is also really good that the site corrects you and gives an explanation of how to do things. The site is easy to navigate and not overloaded, and is a site I could see myself using in a math class. DL)
