=**[|www][|] [|.ixl.com]﻿ **= I have found [|www.ixl.com] to be an excellent web 2.0 tool for my classroom. There are choices of what grade level of math to do practice problems for. In the page of each grade level there are many topics that can be chosen from. One thing I like in particular, besides having grade levels, is there are also problem solving problems that students have to think through. I find this most helpful because my students struggle in knowing what operation needs to be used or the thinking process that they must go through. It is more challenging and more real-world math when they have to decide on how to solve a math problem rather than have the problem spelled out for them they have to consider how to solve it. [|www.ixl.com] Here is a small example of what is offered. I use this in my classroom as warm up work, or as a reward for computer time, when students are finished with their work. They are working to expand and include Geometry and Algebra, although there are lower grade level problems of this type at an easier level. I highly recommend this web site, it is user friendly and you can pin point on the types of problems that need to be practiced. The only draw-back I am aware of at this point is that each user has 20 free math problems per day. They have the opportunity for new problems each day.
