23 Math Websites for Middle School Students

list of math websitesFinding the right tools to engage your students, assess their progress, and close learning gaps is one of the most important jobs of a teacher. Websites and online applications can be a great resource to help reinforce concepts and help students gain mastery of skills and standards especially during Math Workshop. After asking in my Surviving Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Grade Math (for Teachers) Facebook Group what the best online math websites for middle school math were, we came up with quite an extensive list of not only options but also why these platforms are appealing to them and their students. Here are some great online math resources that were shared with us that you might find beneficial for your own students.

Online Math Reinforcement Platforms

Prodigy – This free site is a huge hit with teachers and students love the video game style experience as they get in practice on their math skills. The benchmarks for each student are customized by ability level, as well as state and grade level standards. Teachers can track the progress of students with free reports that are autogenerated when students plat. The game has a magic-based theme and fun characters that keep kids engaged as they learn.

Khan Academy – Another great free site that teachers use in their classrooms for helping to reinforce concepts with lower level students, plus offer more challenging material to those with stronger math abilities. Video instruction helps to explain topics and give quick answers to students when needed. Some teachers assign topics as homework to help students prepare for the next day’s lesson.

Freckle – This site is a great reinforcement resource for differentiation and allows teachers to track the progress of their students as they make their way through ability-appropriate lessons. However, some find that the themes of the site are a bit juvenile, so it may not be as engaging for all middle school level students.

Aleks – This subscription-based service links to certain textbooks and allows students to build on skills that they are learning in the classroom. It features an artificially intelligent learning system which evaluates students and their mastery of concepts and tailors instruction to the strengths and weaknesses of each individual child. It also features an RTI program which teachers find helpful.

MobyMax – This site will evaluate students with placement testing, then base their lessons to help them close learning gaps. The site is free to use but offers a paid license that opens up additional features to expand its capabilities.

Edulastic -Within this free resource, you can create assessments based on learning levels or you can use pre-made versions, all of which align with standards. It integrates with Google Classroom, which helps to streamline the process and gives students easier access. Progress can be measured individually for immediate feedback or displayed head to head to bring a fun, competitive component to math mastery.

BrainGenie – Allows teachers to set up the concepts in the units they are teaching as goals for student practice in class or at home. There are competitive applications within the concepts which are appealing to students. Data is compiled on student progress so that teachers can see where gaps need to be managed.  

Quiz Maker Applications

Kahoot – Make it simple to get in review, especially during testing periods, with quick, custom quizzes. Students enjoy the fun competition that naturally pops up while using this site.

Quizizz – Similar to Kahoot, this site allows you to create quizzes that students can use to review concepts. It can be accessed via apps on phones and tablets for use at home as well as in the classroom.
