Evaluation Check List for Free Math Web Sites

When finding a math site that is right for your student, consider which of the following criteria are most important in a free math site. Also, use a math site which accommodates different age groups if there is more than one student at home who will be using the site.

Advertisements: Are there advertisements on the math web site? Are they age- and content-appropriate? Do the advertisements offer to do students' homework for a fee-(yes, there was a math site which had such an ad)? 

Math Content:Is there enough related math content on the site to deem it worthwhile for math homework?

Math Grade Level Does the site specify the grade of its math audience? Is there a separate page or pages for pre-school, elementary, middle , high school and college?

Math Homework Help If Homework help is available, are you comfortable with it? Does the homework help simply give the student the math answer or help the student figure it out?

Math Games Are math games available on the free math web site? Do the games require a download? Or if you'd rather have your student studying, verify the site has no math games.

Technology Cruise through the math site to see if Flash or Java or Adobe Acrobat need to be downloaded if they are not already on your computer.

Web Site Navigation Is the site easy to navigate? Is the layout intuitive? Is the page clean or is it cluttered and distracting? Is the search feature prominent?
