The Best Sites That Students Can Use Independently And Let Teachers Check On Progress is a “The Best…” list that can come in very handy for teachers and for students. It lists free sites where teachers can register their students, and both can keep track of their progress. They can be useful for reinforcing concepts and language learned in the classroom.
Most, thought not all, of the sites on that list focus on English. I think a similar list targeting sites that let teachers and students do the same with Math could be useful. I know that over the years I’ve seen a number of them, but never bothered to bookmark the sites.
If you know of any, would you mind leaving a comment. If your recommendation is included in the list I post, I’ll be sure to credit the people who made the suggestions.
Thanks!
Ten Marks is one that focuses on math. A colleague of mine really liked it, although I have not registered my own students before.

Another for both ELA & math assessments is Easy CBM http://easycbm.com/
Sokikom.com has a free component for number sense- fractions/decimals/prevents – that is very well developed, adaptive, and includes video tutorials. My students love it! They also have several components that one could pay to add on.
One site that I’ve found to be quite beneficial is ThatQuiz.org. Toying around has found quite a variety of items to introduce and review with the students, and it catalogs quite a bit of data, making it easy to pinpoint individual problems, as well as class issues with specific math concepts.
In the past I have used http://tutpup.com/ to register a whole class and track the progress they make with math through games played with each other as well as students from around the world! There are different levels, but it is aimed at elementary. I can’t remember who first told me about this site, but I like it.
