Enter algebra problems and receive the solutions! Also included are many sample problems. Choose sample problems using the options on the right of the screen, from categories such as algebra concepts and expressions, simplifying or factoring polynomials, vectors, and much more. After creating a problem, select "solve" to find an answer. One major downfall of the site is that the option to see the steps needed to answer the problem leads to a pay site. However, the site is still worthwhile for students to check problem solutions.

Share the site with students as a resource for checking homework. Provide this link on your class website. At the beginning of a unit, display the site on your interactive whiteboard or projector showing the solution to a new problem, and then allow students to investigate and discover how to find the answer. When they complain that the site does not explain how it "got" the answer, you have the perfect teaching moment to point out why you require students to "show their work" to remove such mystery.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This 16 lesson course in Trigonometry offers an overview of Trigonometry for beginners and experts alike. The course begins with a discussion on who needs Trigonometry, Applications, and then moves on through Chords, Sines, Cosines, and more before ending up with a summary. Although a little dry in tone, this site would make an excellent addition to review resources for any Math classroom.

There are plenty of helpful sites to learn content. What makes this so special? Created by an uncle wanting to help his nieces learn material, Khan Academy has grown into a Creative Commons attributed site for helping all students. What information is available? Maybe one should ask: What are you looking for? View a vast array of videos on many topics: SAT prep, Algebra, Geometry, Chemistry, Biology, History, Trigonometry, Calculus, Economics, Brain Teasers, Banking and Money, Statistics, Finance, Physics, and more....Whew! The only problem? The videos are hosted on You Tube. If your district blocks You Tube, then they may not be viewable. Ed note: An alternative is to access Khan Academy through iTunes U FREE downloads, assuming you can load and access iTunes!
tag(s): atoms (44), cells (83), energy (131), functions (51), homework (31), matter (46), molecules (43), photosynthesis (21), respiration (10), structures (18)
In the Classroom
Share the site with your students in order to access at home for homework help. List this link on your class website. If you are unable to view this site on student computers but You Tube is unblocked for teachers, consider using a projector or interactive whiteboard to show to the whole class. Use your google account to log in once you click on the exercises link. From there, find access to exercises that students can complete that are related to each video. Encourage students to share links to specific videos they find helpful on a "Video Reviews" (yes, that is a pun) page of your class wiki. For a very real challenge, have students create their own simple review videos in the Khan Academy style using FlexClip, reviewed here. FlexClip is designed to allow you to create short animated or explainer videos to share on YouTube and other social media sites, then, upload to SchoolTube, TeacherTube, or YouTube, whichever works best in your school. Embed them on your class wiki for a year-to-year student-made study guide!Comments

Use this helpful information for students having difficulty in a particular chemistry concept. Consider creating help videos or whiteboard tutorials by and for students to help others with these or other concepts. Enlist the help of student groups in the planning and creation of help videos which can be used on a wiki, blog, or other site to help all chemistry students. Share the videos using a tool such as Google classroom. There are also links to Math, Spanish, Study Skills, History, Accounting and English with the same detailed help.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
