Math Related Web Sites

    • MATHCOUNTS Drills Homepage - The problems can help prepare for MATHCOUNTS competitions. Most problems are adapted from previous MATHCOUNTS competitions and workouts. Drills are scored and the results are displayed with complete solutions. The same kind of problem may come with different parameters every time you create a new test. You can also repeat each test taken with the same problems or with only the missed problems.
    • Ask Dr. Math
    • Math Word Problems - Over 2,000 math word problems sorted by topic,, difficulty. Grades 1-6
