Personal Reflection
This website, coolmath4kids.com, is really helpful for teachers and
parents to help kids get interested and excited about math. Through
games and practice problems, kids can learn the subjects being
taught on there own as well as in a class room. The site is easy to
navigate through due to the helpful links at the top of the website
right when you enter. When I become a math teacher, I will find this
website very useful in my classroom. I can find helpful information
from the lesson plan and tips, but I can also use it in my classroom to
keep the kids engaged in what they were learning. Also, I can have
my students play math games as a fun and different way of learning.
Coolmath4kids.com is a really awesome website that is not also fun
and intriguing, it is educational. It provides beneficial information to
all types of students, teachers, and parents interested in math.
