"Cool Tool For School"

Doctor Math Ask Dr. Math    
This is a forum to ask Dr. Math any math question and search for answers.  It can be used for elementary math all the way to beyond college math.  You can search for examples on any topic to find the answer yourself or you can submit a question to Dr. Math and it will e-mail you back with help. But, if you can't wait for an answer there is an online tutor! There is a formula link that describes selected formulas and how to use them.  When you pick a topic that gives you trouble it shows you the frequently asked questions and a link that explains the question with an example.


This would be a great tool for students in a math class.  When running into a question on homework at home they can simple look it up and try to find the answer.  It was well known that students don't learn when you just give them the answer, if they find i themselves they will remember it.  Not only could it help with homework but it can be used for studying purposes.  If a student doesn't completely understand a topic in class they can ask on here and get a different explanation that might work better for that student.


For teachers, you can ask questions on how to teach math.  Dr. Math has a teacher2teacher service.  This forum has an unlimited about of information that can be used in the classroom for both students and teachers.
