 * Content: Math puzzles and games for elementary kids that meet many math objectives.**


 * Currency: It was copyrighted in 2004. The feedback page looks like it is maintained frequently. Many questions are posted, and answered almost right away by the webmaster. **


 * Purpose: The purpose of mathslice is to improve math skills for children. It helps them learn and practice math objectives in a fun way.**


 * Organization: Math Slice is easy to navigate through. The site has categories for the different areas of math we cover throughout the year. Most students would be able to navigate through by themselves;however, I will probably tell them where to go based on what information we are covering in class that day.**


 * Strengths: Intriguing games for kids to play. I think my 5th graders would be very excited to play the different games.**


 * Weaknesses:** **Some of the games have directions that are hard to understand.**


 * Instructional Uses:** **I would use this for my 5th grade math classes. After focusing on a learning objective, I'd have the students go to this website and pratice the skill that was taught by playing games. There are also online worksheets that I would use as a quiz. After the students complete the worksheet they press submit and there score appears at the top of the screen.**


 * Benefits to Students:** **Going on this website and playing math games would be a lot more fun then doing a worksheet. I think students would learn more from playing these games than doing a worksheet because if they have a wrong answer the computer corrects them.**
