CMT Games & Practice
Virtual Manipulatives For Grades 6-8, Math site
Virtual manipulatives/games that reinforce the more abstract skills found on the CMT http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/category_g_3_t_3.html
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Recommended Games Interactive Games for all different areas of mathematics. I particularly like the "Factor Game" for students that need support with memorizing their multiplication tables. http://illuminations.nctm.org/Activities.aspx?grade=3
Index of Interactive Math Games
Index of links to interactive games that reinforce Connecticut Mastery skills. When the link is accessed, there will be a list of activities by concept: Number and Operation, Geometry and Measurement, Functions and Algebra and Probability and Data Analysis. Students should begin with the easiest level and work up to the most difficult. I particularly like the ESTIMATOR, VENN DIAGRAMS, FRACTION POINTER and FRACTION FOUR. (These links are classified under the Number and Operation Concept link.) Java applet must be loaded on your computer for these links to operate properly. http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/
The State's resource for Math Strand 25/Open ended questions. This site lists various open-ended problems for grades 4 - 8 that can be printed out and used as practice in preparation for this often difficult portion of the test. http://www.state.ct.us/sde/dtl/curriculum/currmath__cmt_relitems.htm

Other Math Websites
A+ Math
http://www.aplusmath.com/
This is a fairly no-frills site that is good for reviewing and practicing elementary and junior high school math. A homework checker will let you enter the problem and your answer and tell you if you are correct. Flashcards, games, and review sheets (some printable) are available.
Math Forum
http://mathforum.org/students/
This comprehensive site includes topics from elementary school math through college and graduate level research. For help explaining a concept, click on the "Ask Dr. Math" links. This site does not provide instant answers to a particular homework problem, but instead supplements classroom explanations.
Math for Morons Like Us
http://library.thinkquest.org/20991/home.html
This site is a result of a 1998 Think Quest challenge, a program that encourages students and educators to work collaboratively in teams to learn as they create web-based learning materials and teach others. You'll find tutorials, sample problems, and quizzes on prealgebra, algebra, geometry, and calculus. There's even a question submittal section, if you're still stuck. As the title suggests, this site was created with HTML and a sense of humor.
WebMath
http://www.webmath.com
Need help solving a problem on your math homework? This site will help you solve it and explain the process step-by-step.
