Online Math = FUN - ixl.com is an excellent resource for students and teachers to use at home or within the classroom! "Practice makes perfect, and IXL makes math and language arts practice fun! IXL motivates students through interactive games and exercises while keeping teachers and parents informed and involved. With more than 2,500 skills spanning pre-school through high school, IXL offers a dynamic and enjoyable environment suitable for any learning style. Students who use IXL are succeeding like never before." After exploring the website for a while I was beyond pleased with what I found. Every grade and/or mathematical subject has links that bring the students to an array of questions, even word problems, that are algorithmically generated, which means that I student will never come across the same problem, no matter how long they visit the website to practice.
What's the advantage for teachers? This website generates a reports and data analysis tools for teachers to use to gain insight into their students' performance on the website. This student-friendly website also allows children to work on problems at home, even with the help of their families. Parents have the opportunity to get on IXL with them and explore the mathematical topics that their children are currently studying. I absolutely love that IXL offers help to students in Pre-K all the way through Algebra II because the more help our students can get in mathematics the better! It's extremely convenient that teachers can also allow their students to actually use the website in school so they can monitor and quickly identify how their students are doing on certain topics. IXL is extremely user-friendly and even though they do have an option for parents and teachers to become members, the website still offers over thousands of practice problems for students to solve for free. Everyone should check it out!
