Supplemental Math Activities

Several parents have asked about supplemental instruction for math learning. We reviewed several programs and recommend the Peer-Assisted Learning Strategies (PALS) materials and method. Researchers at Vanderbilt University have created these activities and have scientifically demonstrated their effectiveness. These activities can help teachers or parents boost the math performance of students at any level or ability.

Another useful site is The Online Math Tests Home Page, from Dr. Elias Saab at the University of Missouri Department of Mathematics. The math drills posted on the site can provide opportunities for practicing and solidifying math facts.

Some children may find this algebra software from Carnegie-Mellon useful, especially the Algebra Readiness software.
