Do Math and You Can Do Anything!

Listed below you will find:

1. Free video lessons on the Internet for sixth and seventh grade math. Each lesson is brief and is good for review or to watch after an absence. The videos are listed by the following categories:  numeration,  order of operations / properties, decimals, measurement, integers, patterns/functions, solving equations, coordinate plane, transformations, ratio and proportion, geometry, data analysis (graphs), and advanced algebraic challenges.

2.  An excellent online mathematics dictionary that is easy to understand.

3. Study guides for properties and formulas, measurement, math symbols, squares and square roots, etc.

4. A variety of links to good sites for practicing math, including math games.

5. Sites where you can practice problems similar to those on the MCT2 Math Test that you will take in May.
