great homework web sites, continued ...Published: February, 2010

9. For students needing help with math homework, Math.com has resources, tutorials and practice quizzes for all levels – from basic addition and subtraction to algebra and calculus. The Everyday Math section has calculators that tell you the driving distance between U.S. cities and helps you calculate the amount of money you would spend on gas for each trip.

10. The American Library Association’s Great Web Sites for Kids has countless links to sites that are both fun to visit and educational. Divided into several categories, such as Animals, The Arts and Reference Desk, the sites listed by the ALA have clearly identified authoring sources, so students and parents alike can make the most of the vast resources that the Internet offers.

CLOSE-T0-HOME HELP
Homework help can be as close as your own school’s Web site.

> Get that e-mail address. Make sure you and your child have her teacher’s e-mail address. It’s often easier to reach him or her through e-mail than by phone.

> Visit the teacher’s Web site. Need clarification on an assignment? Try going straight to the teacher’s Web site. Today, more teachers are posting assignments, due dates and expectations online.

> Bookmark the school and district Web sites. Schools and districts may subscribe to databases and libraries that your child, as a student of her school, can access.
