www.Coolmath.com presented by Trish & Heather
There were only a few negative comments about this interactive site. Some of the comments from the presenters as well as the audience were that the scrolling cursor can be annoying and the black background is too dark. Yet students enjoy the cursor and the black background is appealing to some as well. Another concern is that the ads cannot be blocked due to usage policy. You also cannot print and distribute materials from site even under teacher area (but copyrighted materials and fair use explained)
This site primarily received positive feedback such as the ease of navigation, teacher resources, resources for students, parents, and grandparents. You may contact the author and also find information about the author’s background.
CoolMath provides a variety of formats for the same topic. Games incorporate learning and deeper understanding without the “pain”.
Comments from teachers included: “Coolmath is cool!”, “Great site”, and “Survivor math sounds great”.
Heather’s students reviewed the site as well.

I also had my Algebra 1 students explore the site and their comments are on alg1.blogspot.com
Thanks for doing such a good write up. If you can get beyond the cursor, ads, and color there are a wealth of resources here.
