When new people come to Coolmath, they usually say something like, "Wow, there's so much here, I don't even know where to start."

So, here is my chance to give you an overview of what we have at Coolmath and how you can use it!

First of all, you can navigate to all of our sites, lessons, games and activities by just going to Coolmath.com.  That site's homepage is a portal to all of our sites and to everything we offer.

We have several sites that are all interconnected, so, as you navigate around, you might end up visiting more than one site without really knowing it!  You can always look up at the top of the page to see where you are at.

We have two main math lesson sites:

If you are looking for math help, this is where you'll want to go.  At the top of each page, you'll find a link for lessons.  You'll also see links for practice problems!

Coolmath.com for ages 13 and up
(topics from fractions and Pre-algebra up through a preview to Calculus)

Coolmath4kids.com for ages up to 13
(topics from 1+1 Arithmetic through Fractions)

We have two game sites:

Coolmath-Games.com
(math and thinking games)

SpikesGameZone.com
(recess for your brain)

If you are looking for a fun way to motivate your kids so they start to see that math can be fun, definitely visit Coolmath-Games.com.  Play some games!  Before they know it, they'll be thinking and figuring stuff out... and this will help their math skills and make them less afraid of math.  As a parent once told me in an email, "No more tears at homework time!"

We also have a few site with other topics:

ScienceMonster.com
(science lessons, games and apps for kids and teens)

FinanceFreak.com
(teaches about the math of money and personal finance for tweens to grown-ups)

TotallyStressedOut.com
(teaches how to not be stressed out and offers relaxation techniques
to help students get through school)

And we also have the site you are on now:  Coolmath4parents.com

To learn more about our lessons, our math practice activities and our games, please follow the blue links at the top of this page!

By the way, I get a handful of emails each year from grown-ups saying that the site is too bright and hurts their eyes or that the trailing-mouse numbers are annoying...  and my answer is that kids love those things!!  I've made the sites for them, so I plan on keeping things the way they are.  If the bright colors do hurt your eyes though, you can just lower the brightness on your computer's monitor.  There's usually an option to do that in the function keys on your keyboard.  And, if you have a cat, I'll be she'll like the bouncing numbers too!

Have fun!!
