http://www2.hcpss.org/math/smart/  - Gives students access to the same web-based activities and virtual manipulative (or mathematics concept tutorials) as those modeled or used by their mathematics teachers! These resources are organized by grade level, marking period, and unit. Teachers are encouraged to use various SMART resources/tools with students during mathematics instruction. Students and parents/guardians are free to access these websites at home or in the public library. SMART resources/tools are currently available for Kindergarten through Algebra I/Data Analysis mathematics classes.

Strategies at Work (SAW) - a comprehensive math fact program designed for learning with understanding.  SAW helps students make sense of math operations (additions, subtraction, multiplication, and division) while building on the natural connections between the operations.  Over 200 fact games for practice are available for download from the SAW parents/ guardians website.  The site also includes rationale for the program, an over view of strategies, and directions for playing the games.  Parents/Guardians can access the SAW website at http://www2.hcpss.org/math/smart/  then scroll down to SAW (A Basic Math Facts Program) and select Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, or Division.
