Math Links
1. This site is the general site for the York County School System. You can find all kinds of information about any school in the county!!
2. This site is the main site for the Virginia Department of Education. On it you can find many things. One of the best things are the released items on previous SOL Tests. Very useful when studying for the SOL tests that every eighth grader has to take in the Spring.

3. This site is the main site for the Jefferson Labs. You can find many things on this site. One of the best things are the released items on previous SOL Tests. The students can answer the questions one at a time with immediate feedback as to how they are doing. This site will be used in class and I encourage the student to use this at home as review.
4. This site is called "Hot Math". It will allow you to see how problems are worked and give some explanation also. It does require a password which your child can get in class. I really think that you will find it very helpful, particularly when no one is around to answer your questions. Try it out!!
5. This site is called "Brain Pop". This does require a password which your child can get in class. It shows several cartoon mini-videos explaining different concepts in all subjects. Some are more elementary than others but you may find it interesting.
6. This site is for creating bar graphs, circle graphs, line graphs, etc. Pretty Cool!
