AAA math features a comprehensive set of interactive math lessons, categorized well in terms of levels (Kindergarten through Eighth) or according to topics, like Addition, Algebra, Counting, Decimals, etc. This allows the user to use the site for class related work, as well as reviewing or learning any particular topic that he or she needs.

The most striking part of the website is the focus on interactivity.  Fully interactive lessons enable illustration of key concepts through visual animation, reinforcement of important points through challenging fun math games, and prevention of learning of wrong ways of solving through immediate feedback. Also, interactivity engages the students, and makes learning math a fun activity.

Moreover, availability of unlimited practice questions allows the students to try out enough questions till they feel confident in a non-threatening environment. This has a huge impact on their self-esteem and confidence.
The content is available in two languages “English” as well as “Spanish”, allowing for a wider reach. Also, all the website content along with some additional stuff is available on a CD version. The CD version is completely advertisement free. It helps the students in avoiding distractions, and focus completely on learning.

Mathkinz is a unique site that’s entirely run and managed by kids. Yup, school kids of grades 4 through 8. They develop the content, in this case worksheets, test material, etc. and host it too!

The website was started by Nirlesh Jain, a father that takes keen interest in his kids’ education. While teaching his kids, he came up with the idea. After speaking to his friends and family, he gathered all the neighboring kids and encouraged them to start developing math content. And in just a few months, Mathkinz.com was born. To keep the interests of kids alive, he offers Mathkinz points for the content they develop. This encourages them to keep developing more content and also build up a competitive spirit amongst them.

Mathkinz also conducts Math competitions in the central New Jersey area to encourage local students to develop better math skills.
