Introduction

Ever search for a math site that will hold your child's interest? A site that has interactive games that are fun? A site that has not only addition and subtraction but multiplication and division as well? A site that has worksheets you can print out?

Look no further. After much research, I have put together an Internet Hotlist that contains more math games than you can imagine. The games have been tested and found be fun, challenging, and a great learning tool. This Hotlist is organized first by Math Worksheets and Flashcards, then a Math Glossary list of sites, and then different sites that have math games (Illuminations, Arcytech, Funbrain, Cool Math for Kids, AAA Math, various sites with Multiplication games, and many miscellaneous sites).

Try different sites. Remember, some sites you will love and some sites won't be right for you. Don't forget to add those sites you like to your Favorites list.
When you click on a link from this Hotlist, it will open a new window for you. To get back to the Hotlist, just close the window.
