Week IV, Post III: Ask Dr. Math

I should have written about this site weeks ago:

http://mathforum.org/dr.math/ask/

This is a super resource for students, and follows along the lines of the math dictionary. It is a site, called Ask Dr. Math, that allows viewers to ask anything and everything about math. There are FAQs and "Common answers" (categorized by mathematical topic) to various types of questions. There is even a resource for teachers, http://mathforum.org/t2t/

It's a great place for students having trouble with understanding a concept, as well as a place where the faster learners can further expand their knowledge. Answers come relatively quickly and the information is very accurate. It's not something I would necessarily use as a lesson plan, but rather a place to send students for reference.
