These web pages also feature solutions that were submitted by students when the problem was originally highlighted as a Math Forum Problem of the Week. Tutors can review the hints and solutions before presenting a problem to students. This resource was written for parents of children in kindergarten through fifth grade, but will also be useful for tutors. It includes a variety of activities to help children learn and apply mathematical concepts such as geometry, algebra, measurement, statistics, and probability in a useful and fun way. All of the activities relate math to everyday life and complement many of the math lessons that children are learning in school.
Activities use materials that are easy to find.
This site is a center for teachers, students, researchers, parents, educators, and all who have an interest in mathematics education. The Math Forum collects Internet and teacher-initiated mathematics resources and organizes them by subject so that these resources can be readily accessed. A favorite Math Forum feature, Problems of the Week, provide a creative mathematical challenge for students that can be used in the classroom or at home. New problems are offered each week for elementary, middle school, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry and calculus students. These problems were selected with the goal of improving problem solving skills and are classified into grade levels five through 12.
