 * Authority: There is much information about how the website was created and how it works as well as contact information if there is something wrong with the website itself. The site has also been used on Discovery Education which is a well know education site.**


 * Content: This website allows you to select from a large list of math problems and will compute the answers for you. It will also give you an explanation of how the answer was derived. From this site you can purchase materials for home use, find teacher and student resources, as well as find problems and solutions directly from the internet.**


 * Currency: This website was updated in 2009 and is updated when there is new material to add or if there is an error on the page. **


 * Purpose: The purpose of this website is to provide students with extra help on a wide range of problems.**


 * Organization of Information, Design and Navigation: The organization of this website is clear and easy to use. At the home page you can select which type of problem you need help on. Once you have selected a type of problem you will be taken to a screen that allows you to practice problems. When you are finished with that type of problem you can click another button to get back to the home page.**


 * Strengths: A strength of this website is that there is such a wide variety of problem types to choose from. Another strength of the website is that you not only get the calculated answers, but you will be able to see how the answer was computed.**


 * Weaknesses: A weakness of this site is that it doesn't allow the student to input their own answer to be checked, it just gives the answer and the supporting work.**


 * Instructional Uses: I would use this website as a supporting tool for the students that need extra help or that need to see the information in a different way. By recomending this site, students that forget material can have a place to relearn or reinforce already learned material.**


 * Benefits to Students: This site provides students with examples to try and to study from if they are having trouble understanding the material in class.**
