Math Outside of the Classroom

Have you ever wanted to learn something that we didn't cover in class? Maybe you were bored and wanted to move on to a new section or maybe you weren't sure you understood what we covered one day, but regardless you wanted to know where to find math instruction online. Well, here are some places you can check out first!
The Obvious: Math.com!: Of course there's a website called math.com! Math.com has a lot of stuff on it, everything from tips on finding a tutor to loan calculators to homework help. I would suggest you start on the "Practice" tab for any sort of exploration or catching up, but feel free to look around. The practice section teaches a lesson, then has a short quiz at the end so you can see what you learned! This is a good way to check and see if you understand something, even if we've gone over it in class. Then, once you've finished your practice, you can move on to games. Come on, playing games first is like eating dessert before dinner!
More Math Tutorials: I don't know who Mrs. Glosser is, but she's been busy! Mrs. Glosser's math goodies has all sorts of topics on it. She covers everything from basic math to calc and has many options for each! I'd suggest using the tutorials (be aware that some are free and some are on the cd only!) to learn the new topics and then using the worksheets to practice. Most of the worksheets don't have any answers with them, but I'm sure I or another math teacher could check them for you . . . if you ask nicely! :) There are games for practice on this site too.
S.O.S.!: It's never good when you need to yell "S.O.S.!" And, it's even worse when it's because of math! That's why S.O.S Math is a great site for learning new stuff, but also catching up on class material. You'll probably want to stick with the Algebra, Trig and Calc sections, as many of the topics they cover are college level! So, if you're planning on taking math in college, S.O.S. math might be helpful to take along! Each section in this site has a good explaination, complete with graphics and pratice exercises with solutions so you can check! There's all sorts of topics here, so anything you might want should be there!
Dessert Time: I've given you so many practice sites, I suppose you deserve a fun site. Math playground is full of math games. Even though it might not be your wii, they are still fun and educational too. These games are all on the easier end of high school math, though, so if you're looking for calculus fun, sorry, this site won't help you. Have fun!
What are you waiting for? Go learn your math online!
