A great print resource that you may be interested in purchasing as a desk reference is one of the Great Source reference books.  I suggest the Math to Know book, because it is geared to 3rd and 4th but it has topics introduced in earlier grades and that will continue to be practiced in later grades.  It is a comprehensive yet student-friendly resource that delivers clear explanations of critical math concepts. The Almanac provides useful tables and charts as well as tips and strategies for studying, taking tests, and problem solving.
The publisher is Great Source and it is available at most bookstores or you could order it online at the Great Source web site

 

 

These sites were all selected because they may be helpful if you have a question when you are doing homework or a math project.

Want to review a concept or idea that was taught in class?  You can watch these animated videos that cover a wide range of lessons.  They are geared more to upper elementary and middle school, but may be of interest to early elementary students as well.
