In this activity you will review a
mathematics website of your choice and produce a short report
to send to your group. You will also learn to be more critical

Why

Share your document with your group online (using the subject heading "Web Site Evaluation"). Read the evaluations that your group shares with you. If you know the website and think
you could comment further and add to the information,
do so.
