AAA Math is a website that provides students with tons of practice in basic math concepts such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, decimals, fractions and percent. It also contains information about practical topics such as measurement, interest and taxes. The material is organized by both subject and grade, and includes material up to grade 8.

Students can read a brief introduction of each topic by clicking on Learn at the top of the screen. The information contained here is not ideal for literacy students. What is useful is the Practice section that follows this information. By clicking on Practice students can try interactive math questions created using Javascript. They are provided with a seemingly endless number of questions. They are given immediate feedback and at the bottom of the screen there is a running total of the number of correct answers. This lets teachers easily see how students are doing. Although not all of the information contained on this site is clearly presented, the sheer quantity of practice questions and the immediate feedback that comes with them makes this site definitely worthwhile.

Thanks to Norbert Molzan and Larry Iveson for bringing this website to our attention.
