Math Playground
Discipline: Mathematics
Grade Levels: K-8
'Web Site Address: www.mathplayground.com
Description: The title of this web site is misleading. It is not a fun playground, but more of a busy, confusing web page. It is difficult to navigate around the site--it should be more accessible, especially as it is a website for kids. The site lacks color and personality, and is therefore less appealing to students who would want to become exited about learning math. The site does have a great word problems section that is interactive and fun. However, it does not explicitly state when you have completed a word problem correctly, but only does so when you are wrong. The site definitely needs some work, but has a good foundation for doing math online. (Katherine Warner)
