Websites for student use

Khan Academy videos are great videos to use for further instruction on many math concepts from Algebra I through calculus. There are videos to instruct these concepts and to provide practice problems in order to gain mastery.  In the students' spare time they may use any of these videos to help them prepare for exams and test their knowledge on the classroom objectives.

Along with using these websites at home, they may be helpful in class while instructing a lesson. For example, when teaching about slope, the videos contain pictures of how to find the slope of a line using two points on it in the coordinate plane.  Another example would be in a geometry class.  There are great pictures on the videos for many different geometric shapes.  It would lessen the time in class needed for drawing because the pictures are already there.  Also, students can refer to the same exact video used in class.  

http://www.coolmath.com/ is a great website for algebra, geometry and pre-calculus interactive lessons and games for those students who are confused with, bored with, or hate math.  The site also contains a math dictionary to find unfamiliar math related terms.  The site could be used at home for extra instruction or practice as well as in class for simulations.

The lemonade game is a great game that simulates a simple business.  The game requires the student to buy items such as cups, lemons, sugar, and ice, set a price to sell lemonade according to weather conditions in order to make a profit.  This game could be used in class when discussing cost versus proft equations and finding the maximum profit.
