Mastery of math skills requires practice. Whether you're a math teacher or a parent looking to supplement your children's math education, Mr. Martini's Classroom provides a fun environment filled with interactive tools that will help you help your K-8 aged students achieve their educational math objectives.
Mr. Martini's Classroom supplements academic instruction by providing opportunities to practice arithmetic and to reinforce math facts that the student has learned from teachers in the classroom, parents at home, or learning focused media on the internet. The focus of Mr. Martini's Classroom is on elementary arithmetic and math practice. Topics include counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, inequalities, fractions, decimals, exponents, radicals, negative numbers, and percents. Plus, there's a detailed index with pop up descriptions of the hundreds of practice topics covered.
The flashcards, quick quizzes, and other tools should help students solidify their math facts. Math teachers and parents may also find many of the tools useful for demonstration during teaching. The online practice quizzes are black and white to simulate real quizzes, the flashcards flip like in real life, the long arithmetic tools work right to left, and the long division and long multiplication tools require students to show their work.
When you move the pointer over a math topic on the index page of Mr. Martini's Classroom, a small window pops up with a brief explanation of the topic. Many of the interactive exercises are self-paced, have selectable levels of difficulty, and are offered in both color and black & white. If a math resource is available in color or in black and white, there is a b/w icon that links to the black and white version. When you click on an elementary math topic, you will be transferred directly to that math resource. Many pages have additional instructions and all math resource pages have a small apple in the bottom right corner which links to its particular math subject homepage
