Sylvan Dell publishing is allowing the public to view for FREE their new line of ebooks.



These ebooks are animal-themed picture storybooks for children with beautiful illustrations and text. They can be used to learn language or science.

The neat thing is, they are bilingual (English/Spanish). You can switch the language while you're reading one page and it'll stay on that page. Plus you can have the book read to you (audio) in either English or Spanish.

A Review of Mathletics

I have completed writing a comprehensive review of Mathletics website. It is an online math practice system for K-12 that includes:

• a regular "curriculum" section where you practice various kinds of math problems;
• a Live Mathletics section where you race with math problems against other kids around the world;
  
• Rainforest Maths - a separate website filled with math activities; and
  
• a parent center with yet more resources such as printable workbooks and videos.

Mathletics is a subscription service, but it offers a lot! Please read my review and see screenshots.

Most of us have seen the picture of Escher's paradoxical staircases - but today I saw a model of them built of Legos! Go see it - it's just cool!
