This website provides a variety of math topics for students of all ages and teachers. The site provides links for help with various math topics. It also provides interactive games and lessons. There are also links specifically for teachers where you can find ideas for all areas of math.
The site was very fast with my DSL/Cable connection.

Comments: I have recommended this site to students before. I think students will find it fun and informative. The step-by-step instructions for items such as long division and fractions are helpful. The games are interactive and fun.
How would you use it for teaching? I would use this as a reference site for students if they need help at home. I would also use this as an extra-credit assignment. I would have them play some of the games related to the topic we are studying. I also found the lesson ideas interesting and helpful so I would use it myself. I think it would be very motivating for students and teachers.
