The Peel District School Board has developed an excellent math resource for parents, students and teachers in grades K-12. It is called Online Math, and you can use it on any computer connected to the internet by going to http://mathonline.peelschools.org
Online Math is a collection of math web sites - picked by teachers and sorted according to the math learning expectations in the new provincial curriculum. You and your child can use Online Math as one way of improving math skills. But if you don't have internet access at home, don't worry—it is not a requirement for your child to use it at home in order to do well in math. Online Math lets you search for topics and activities of interest in the database. Here are some of the other features that you and your child may find useful: - Resources —
This button will take you to the "Best of the Web"—the best sites for mathematics.
- Homework Helpers—
This button provides several sites for students who run into difficulty while doing their math homework.
- Math Tools—
Visit sites with online tools—such as calculators and pattern blocks—to help with assignments
I t's important that you monitor your child's use of the internet. Although teachers have carefully selected all of the sites on Online Math, it's possible that your child may stumble across something you would feel is inappropriate. |
