 * = ==General Description == ||= This site is an Elementary students Math playground. Honestly, it is probably good for older students as well. (//I know I enjoy some of the games//) Coolmath.com is a site that has a vast network of Math games of different games. The premise behind the site is to incorporate fun (games) with Math. The creators note:

“Cool Math was designed for the frustrated, the confused, the bored students of the world who hate math. Cool Math was designed for the students who just need to get through this stuff so they can reach their other academic goals. Cool Math was designed for the math geeks of the world"

They have done a good job in meeting this mission statement. My students love this site. I am not sure that they realize that they are doing Math! ||
 * = ==Teacher/Student Use == ||= I would recommend this site as an add-on to your lesson. I know most teachers use it as a center station. The students do really enjoy it, but unlike Everyday Math’s games, this site is not really tied to a curriculum. The site meets some of the Technology standards… but, at a much lower level than some programs. ||
 * = ==Things to Know Before You Go == ||= As long as you have Internet access you are really ready to go with this site. I would look it over (//play a little)// have an idea of what the students are up against. ||
 * = ==Technology Standards == ||= **8.1.P.E.1**
 * 8.1.P.C.1**
 * 8.1.2.A.5** ||
