New Feature: Math Crosswords
Posted by Philip C. Paradis on November 21, 2009
Article Icon We're pleased to announce the availability of free math crosswords. Although these aren't crossword puzzles in the strictest sense (the puzzle grid is comprised of numbers), they are solved in the same manner.

To fill in the puzzle, a list of math problems must be solved. If a mismatch in the solution grid is encountered, the solver must double-check the math problems that link to the affected area for accuracy. This is a great way to reinforce math skills. More math crossword categories will be released soon, including algebra puzzles. Have fun!

Today is Veterans Day
Posted by Philip C. Paradis on November 11, 2009

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has created a Veterans Day teacher resource guide to assist educators in helping students learn about this holiday.

Please take this opportunity to thank your local veterans for their service. The sacrifices made by these citizens in the defense of our nation are immeasurable and deeply appreciated.

Happy Halloween!
Posted by Philip C. Paradis on October 31, 2009
Article Icon We'd like to wish all our visitors a safe and happy Halloween. If you're "trick or treating" this evening, please be sure to follow a few basic safety rules:
  • If you're going to be out after dark, it's a good idea to attach reflective tape (frequently used by cyclists) to costumes. This alerts drivers to a person's presence.
  • Children should always be accompanied by an adult.
  • All treats should be examined by a parent. Any treats that aren't securely wrapped from the manufacturer should be given special attention.
To learn more about this holiday, you may wish to read the Wikipedia article on Halloween.
