Math teachers! I have found a great website for helping you in the classroom. The following link: http://www.math.com/teachers.html, is a great website to add to your favorites. They offer worksheet generators to create and print your worksheets for class. There are links to math standards in order to make sure you are meeting them. There is a large amount of reference tables to pass out to your class for different subjects, as well as a problem of the week section. The best part of this website is the help that it offers for lesson plans. When you click on the lesson plans link, you will be directed to a page with 12 or so different lesson plan websites. There are lesson plans submitted by teachers all over the United States, and there are even specialized lesson plans that use census data or take advantage of internet resources. You can also search for lesson plans by age group. The point is: there is a whole lot of lesson plans to view and take ideas from.
But that is not all! From the main page there is a link called reference sources. Under this heading you can find a link to dictionaries for math words, a math history link, a formulas link, as well as calculators and converters. All of these can be good links to share with your students. Students can also go to the recreational link on the main page and see links to puzzles as well as student pages, which are designed to spark student interest in the “cool” side of math. Students can also go to the math.com homepage and take advantage of all the resources that it offers too.
Math.com helps satisfy the following Technology Foundation Standards for Students:

Math.com for teachers is just one more example of an online resource that can be used to enhance our students’ learning. The best part about this website is that it is free. There are many more online resources out there for teachers and students; all you have to do is look!
