Math software resources review

Since I have two grade-school children who always need help with their math facts, finding a good math website would really make things easy for them. Their love of computer games (generation on-line!) and the ubiquity of the web in their lives can be used to their advantage. The first site I found was a wonderful jumping-off point, but it contains the all to often problem with internet searches: too much information. To make things easy, I chose the baseball website which seems like a good way to test my daughters’ mental math abilities.

The positive aspects of this website include easy navigability and straightforward instructions. The negatives include a lack of bells and whistles and no tutorial to explain mistakes (which may be good because the flow of the game would be slowed).
