Abstract

Middle school mathematics have traditionally been a turning point for many students as they transition from the relative "safety" of elementary school arithmetic to the more challenging demands of high school algebra, pre-calculus and statistics. This paper reviews a number of digital educational resources, available as CD-ROMs or Internet websites and chosen to conform to Massachusetts Department of Education curriculum standards, which may help teachers, students and their parents meet these challenges and smooth the transition from middle school to high school mathematics.
