Cassie's Suggested Sites: [|1. Census at School] 2. [| Balanced Assessment Tasks] 3. [|Figure This! Math Challenge for Families]
 * Stats Canada site using Tinker Plots to analyze class data.
 * Includes step-by-step instructions to using Tinker Plots - a powerful tool for data analysis
 * I like this site a lot! When it comes to the Data Management strand we often only scratch the surface of the analysis. Using Census Canada and Tinker Plots students have the chance to really study the data and view it from a variety of perspectives.
 * Over 300 mathematics assessment tasks covering a variety of topic areas.
 * Click on the task link for a description of the task, solution, scoring rubric, grade level, content area, etc.
 * I like this site as it provides possible solutions and rubrics. I also like the depth of the tasks - which gets at a deeper level of understanding than typical tests.
 * A series of math challenges for students. They cover a variety of strands and topics.
 * I like the Math Index that lists the various activities and the strand. I also like the facts and pieces of information peppered throughout - facts that link to everyday events and occurrences, helping make math relevant and meaningful.

Paulene's useful math sites 1.[|http://www.crickweb.co.uk/ks2numeracy.htm] - this site is useful in reviewing basic math and working with two-step algebra equations, use of the protractor and other math concepts can be reviewed. 2.http://www.aaaknow.com/grade7.htm site is useful in allowing students to Study Basic Math Skills, has Unlimited Interactive Practice. It provides Explanations and Examples and offers Challenge Games. Useful for Grades 1-8. 3.http://www.dotolearn.com/mahjong/index.htm this site introduces the concept of equivalent equations in a fun game. The level ranges from easy to hard. For students in the intermediate level this may be a fun way of introducing and reviewing balanced and equivalent equations.
