It is particularly important that teachers at this level engage students in math instruction and involve them in their own learning as much as possible. The sites below provide lessons and activities that are interesting, fun, and instructionally valid -- perfect for use at the middle school level.

Since the introduction of Math Blasters over 20 years ago, many teachers still associate the computer with drill and practice.

Some will be successful with manipulatives, while others find computer tools, photographs, or real-world data engaging.
