This week, we're looking at the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives. This is a great interactive site for teaching your student math concepts that she might be having a hard time grasping. To me and to many math teachers, this site demonstrates what computers best educational use is: teaching difficult math concepts in a way that would be difficult or impossible with physical manipulatives.
This site requires that you have Java installed. Start out with the geometry section, and try rotating the Platonic solids, try your hand at tessellations,, or pretend you've just read Mind Storms bySeymour Papert and do Turtle Geometry
