Paragraph describing the websites characteristics and how the website could be used
as a resource:
This Khan Academy website is for learning the basics of volume. What is so great about
this website is not only can students use this a reference but teachers and parents can use this
for helping with homework or reviewing volume as well. This website can be used for a variety
of subjects including; math, science, economics and finance, arts and humanities. For volume
particularly, there are instructional videos that can help students step by step with problems. Sal
Khan is the founder of Khan Academy website and has three degrees from MIT and a MBA from
harvard. This website is for educational purposes and has a wide variety of math subjects that
can be viewed to help students or have teachers refer to the website when writing lessons or
used as a reference when assigning homework to students.

The Annenberg Learner website can be used for kindergarteners to college
students for a variety of subjects. These subjects include, Arts, Foreign Language,
Literature and Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies and History.
Annenberg Learner is especially great for basic understandings of Geometric 3D
shapes. They give a variety of parts to the 3D shapes lesson with an introduction and a
test your skills tab, with many practice and information tabs in between. It is very
interactive you can explore a variety of different 3D shapes by moving them around, see
how many faces, vertices, edges, and also seeing the net of the 3D shape. The
Annenberg Learner website can be used to help students study, help teachers
introducing a lesson, and can even be used as a parent to help their child study.

Paragraph describing the websites characteristics and how the website could be used
as a resource:
AAA Math is a website that can be used for a variety of basic math concepts for grade
levels k-8th. These concepts include but are not limited to; addition, algebra, decimals,
geometry, mental math, and much more. For learning about volume of a Rectangular Prism the
AAA Math website includes multiple tabs such as; learn, practice, play, explore, contents and
search, next lesson, previous lesson, and feedback. The variety of tabs can either help with
students or teachers. With students they can learn, practice, play and explore which is great if
they do not understand the concept they can go home and practice more. For teachers they can
use this in the computer labs for students to explore the concept in class as well.
