The Web resource I'm reviewing is http://patrickjmt.com/
This site is geared toward anything having to do with high school algebra all the way into college mathematics. This is definitely a site that can be used in school to provide additional resources to students who may need additional tutoring. The site contains a large number of videos that give examples of various math skills. It is very easy to use in that once you watch a video, it takes you to a page where you can watch the youtube video. After completing the video, there are suggested videos below the video-box. One thing I like about the site is how simple it is to use. Just Math Tutorials has a shortcut bar across the top and you simply click the subject you want to interact with. As you move down the page, all you need to do is click the up arrow to go back to the top of the page. It's a simple, sweet, to the point website with no frills or overwhelming ads. There is just one point on the top right where Patrick has made a nod to his partner for the website - ThinkWell. I don't like how cluttered the website can feel once you've watched/visited a few of the videos. The best thing I like about the site is that you're not required to have a membership and adult supervision is *not* required. Just click and go.
Thanks, Sue! I have never heard of or seen this site before, but I will have to play around with it to see what the videos are like. I watched one on finding the zeros of a polynomial, and he seems to be accurate and concise in his explanations. This always helps me as a teacher learn how to better explain some of these topics, and I'm sure students can also learn from him. Thanks again for the post!
