Techie Taffy

PAROMITA PAIN


Schools have reopened and getting back with friends can be such fun. But school reopening also means loads of homework. After the holidays they can be quite a chore and you may probably feel it’s worse than getting measles in summer! But groans apart, it’s homework and it has to be done. Taking a stroll over the info highway, Techie came across some super homework helpers that will help you get through your work in a jiffy.

For all those pesky problems related to numbers,

Dr. Math is your best friend. Access him at http://bms.attleboroschools.com/home_work_helpers.htm.

Try the page at http://mathforum.org/dr.math/faq/ first. It is well divided into various kinds of problems that you may have ranging from ‘Classic’ problems that have age related sums solvers and formulae.

The page takes while to load and is a bit slow with your answers too but try not to loose patience. The stuff is good and can be easily used by very young children too.

For more Math helpers go to http://www.mathleague.com/help/help.htm that has lots of easy to understand stuff on whole numbers and their basic properties, decimals, whole number s, and exponents, using data and statistics, fractions, geometry, ratio and proportion, percent and probability metric units, measurement and more.

B.J. Pinchbeck’s http://school.discovery.com/homeworkhelp/bjpinchbeck/bjabout.html is a friendly site full of nice colours that also has some good homework tips. He has put together some of the best stuff on the net to help you narrow down your search.

The Brain Boosters’ section at http://school.discovery.com/brainboosters/ is the fun part of the site.

Full of puzzles to work out when homework gets tiring, the games also promise to improve reasoning skills.
