REVIEW:
This impressive site defines and gives examples of 300 or more math terms. In addition, most terms become working examples of their concepts. For example, visitors can watch as an animation builds Base 10 blocks to 100 and then build their own numbers. Students can check out multiple examples of Fibonacci numbers. Clicking on the term number gives users examples of Hindu Arabic, Roman, Even, Odd, Ordinal, and Whole Numbers. Students can learn about subjects ranging from basic numeration through advanced math areas such as trigonometry. The use of quizzes, demonstrations, and working examples makes the site very user friendly. For any math student, this is an excellent resource in addition to being lots of fun!
