With internet-enabled computers becoming more common place in the homes of all Americans, all people of all ages are educating themselves on topics they may have never known. As open as the internet is, it is critical that households with children and young adults take advantage of the limit less educational resources.

My mother has identified this and is taking the initiative to introduce useful online resources to her 7th grade math and Pre-Algebra classes. As a teacher for almost 30 years, she knows the exact problems facing inner city students, and has spent a lot of time and effort helping as many students as she can. In fact, both me and my younger sister were in her class in 7th grade! (And don't think there was any bias toward us; in fact she was probably harder on us than the other students!)

The internet gives teachers like my mom the ability to publish something and share it with all the students right away. Her site, http://www.emellefamily.com/7thgrademath, is an online syllabus where her students and parents can access resources for the math class. In addition to finding out class policies, my mom has selected some really good online Math resources that allow students to excercise their brain right from the site! I tried out a few of the lessons, and I will honestly admit I missed one!

Go ahead and check out the site.  See of your math skills are at a 7th Grade level!

And if you are from Texas, there are great resources for the TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) test. Enjoy!
