Great website for Math Skills K-8th grade!!

This is a great website that includes free math skills practice for children ages K-8th grade! You can use the "Math Practice" area to practice math skills with your kiddos or students at anytime for FREE. The website provides state standards as well! This comes in very handy...especially since school districts are very vocal about aligning all content taught with state standards, for all teachers, even special education teachers. If you know your child or student needs to work on a specific area in math, it is easy to navigate through the practice section to find the perfect fit.
The practice section allows the children to complete the math problems on the computer which increases motivation and makes learning fun! We know how our kids in the 21st century adore technology!

Parents---You can join the website for $79 per year and receive more benefits and access to more activities and updates on your child's progress. 

Teachers---there is also a membership available for $199 that gives all your students access to the comprehensive math activities, keeps track of student progress and allows you as a teacher to set goals according to the areas that your student needs more remediation in. 

I am going to use this website as a resource during my first year of teaching!
 
I'll keep you updated as to how useful the site proves itself to be. If it is, I may think about signing up for a teacher membership!! 

Check it out....
