There’s a close relationship particularly in the early grades between many math and science skills. Here, from the good folk who have created the online primary science curriculum, Science4Us.com, is a little video about measurement. It’s good for math or science!

MathCity.com, the sister site to the very popular SpellingCity.com, also seeks to be provide a useful tool. The key is targeting really big needs, a great interface, and pricing so that all teachers, parents, and students can afford it.
The site’s mission is to be the primary supplementary resource for resolving some frequent stumbling blocks on the road to math mastery. The target areas:
Stay tuned. To get the latest information, subscribe to this site or sign up for VocabularySpellingCity.com. We’ll certainly announce it there when MathCity.com is ready to rock and roll!
PS. The videos collected on this site are just interesting math materials that caught my eye on YouTube. They are not representative of our direction.

I believe in math education the same way that I believe that children should read. If they can’t think quantitatively and logically about themselves and their world, they can’t understand very much.
I see daily examples of how math is part of my daily work and understanding of the world. I routinely see a convergence between common sense, basic arithmetic, and probability and statistics. For instance,
If I run the red light, probably nothing will happen. But if I run the red light every day for two weeks, I’ll probably get in an accident. And I run it every day for year, I’ll probably get in a lot of accidents.
This is both common sense and basic statistics.
This site is dedicated to much better math education. It’s driven by the same vision as those people making SpellingCity (what a hit!). We support math games. For the moment, we are in development and we are populating this site with some fun math games and math videos. Enjoy.
