Online Math Help for High SchoolIn high school, I didn’t have online math help. We didn’t even have the “online” part. Life is changing, and for people struggling with math, it’s changing for the better. The internet is loaded with sites offering free and paid math help. Along with online tutoring, these sites have something to offer to anyone searching for online math help. Here are a few of my favorites:Math.com - Free math lessons and homework help. Math.com is pretty inclusive, and covers a wide range of math subjects from basic math to advanced. The site is broken down into topics of Homework Help, Practice, Tutoring, Calculators, Games and Store. The site is a nice resource for math help for all ages. Mathway.com, please click here for their site mathway.com , will help you solve math problems by inputting information into their site. It also allows you to see the steps involved to come up with the right answer..of course there’s a catch...if you want to see the steps, you have to join and pay a fee. Hotmath.com is a pay site that supplements math textbooks. Please click here for their site Hotmath.com - Math Textbook Answers Hotmath shows step-by-step answers to pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and calculus textbook problems. If your school text is listed (there are approximately 300 textbooks listed), and you purchase a membership, hot math gives you tips and helps explain solutions to the exercises in the text book. In addition to the answers to the textbook problems, they also have videos and live help, both for an additional cost. I’m a visual learner, and if you’re a visual learner too, try mathtv.com, please click here for the link mathtv.com . This site uses videos of several different people who explain math using a whiteboard. Subscribe and become a member for free. Login no longer required unless you want to use the play list feature. Videos are listed either by topic or textbook. I hate math, but I really like this site. There is also has some basic math, (for 7-8 grade level) but the playlist is broken down into algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus. Some videos are in Spanish. I also like brightstorm.com. Please click here for their site brightstorm.com . Brightstorm has a free sign up for math and a limited trial use for their PSAT and SAT and ACT. Brightstorm covers everything from Algebra I to Calculus. Once you register for free, you can also use their answer checker.

The site is broken down into topics of Homework Help, Practice, Tutoring, Calculators, Games and Store. The site is a nice resource for math help for all ages. Online Math Help for Junior High and Middle SchoolSchoolfamily.com takes a broader look into online math help, and looks into education and schools. Not only does this site provide online math help, but it also provides information on what your child can expect (both socially and scholastically) when transitioning into a new school, such as from elementary to middle school, and middle school to high school. SchoolFamily.comAs mentioned in the high school section above, Math TV also has an innovative learning project for middle school students that provide videos, followed by practice skills that students can perform on their own in a virtual hands-on setting. Choose Enter ,Tune-in, Roll 'em, the math topic, and then the episode. Please click here for their site mathtv.com . While you’re at mathtv, try , mathplayground.com . Again, this site has some fun and interactive games that you can play by yourself, or against others visiting the site. I think I beat a group of 5th graders in drag racing division....and I learned that I’m pretty bad at sliding the blocks games under the logic section. The very cool thing about this online math help site is that after the first few minutes, I didn’t feel like I was working on math. The math videos are great, and I found myself re-learning prime numbers, and greatest common factors. Funny how much you forget you once knew...OK, I admit the geometry and pre-algebra videos lost me...not because they weren’t good, but because I’m not good at math. Online Math Help for Elementary SchoolA nice starting point for elementary math, to make sure kids are clear about the definitions of mathematical words is amathsdictionaryforkids.com. It’s also a nice place for parents to refresh their math vocabulary. Please click here for their site amathsdictionaryforkids.com .OK, remember how I hate math? But even I spent quite a bit of time on coolmath4kids.com, please click here for their site Coolmath4kids.com. Working through their brain teasers was a blast. And the Monster Mind Reader kind of freaked me out, but I forgot I was even doing math. The site is advertised as an amusement park for math, and is a great interactive site. As a bonus, parents can also click here Math 4 parents at Coolmath.com for tips and projects to help them teach math to their kids. Who knew online math help could be so much fun? Another nice online math help site for visual learners is the Discovery Education site. Please click here for their site school.discoveryeducation.com. Click on the "Home Resources" tab, then the "Math" tab. This site uses animated videos to explain math concepts. If you’re getting tired of sitting in front of the computer monitor, maybe you should take your online math help...off line. Super Kids lets you create and print some customized worksheets to work offline. Please click here for their site superkids.com.. Click on the "Math" tab under "Educational Tools" on the left hand margin. Create worksheets on math topics for grades K-8, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, order of operations, fractions, rounding, averages, factorials, and exponents. So that’s just a small sample of online math help sites you can visit. But parents should always remember that sitting your kid in front of a computer is no substitute for actually working hands on with your child. Take some time to work with them and share in their joy of learning. Please click here to return to TutorTrend Math Help Page |
