Prodigy Math is a free, adaptive math platform used by more than 1.5 million teachers, and 90 million students around the world. With 1,500+ math skills, it offers curriculum-aligned content from every math strand from 1st to 8th grade.
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics started Illuminations in an effort to increase educators’ access to quality standards-based resources for teaching and learning math.
Students in middle school will find over 100 activities (e.g., virtual manipulatives, applets, and games). There are also Calculation Nationgames wherein students can challenge themselves as well as opponents from anywhere in the world.
Simply search for resources by grade, topic, or standard!
One user described MathTV as the Netflix of online learning. This website is home to 10 thousand free math videos covering topics such as algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. However, their “Basic Math” topic will be most relevant for middle school students.
Behind the videos are 34 great tutors. They have so many because their varied approaches to the same math topics and problems help students see how to solve problems differently.
MathTV has been optimized for all mobile devices so students can watch them on the go or teachers can incorporate them into daily mathematics instruction.
This collection of videos is aligned to the Common Core Standard for 6th to 9th grade, covering topics from integers and equations to negative numbers and statistics.
Helping students with homework -- and making them laugh -- PBS Math Club also uses pop culture references to explain math concepts.
And if the one to six-minute videos are too long, check out their 15-secondInstaCramversions!
This innovative collaboration between the Faculties of Mathematics and Education at the University of Cambridge seeks to develop confident, resilient problem-solvers.
NRICH -- as its name suggests -- aims to enrich the mathematical experiences of all learners by providing thousands of free online resources for Pre-K to 12th grade that are:
Engaging
Thought-provoking
Challenging
Inspiring
Relevant
Applicable
Middle school students can, for example, play a collection of games called “Is there a better way?” wherein each game has multiple routes to the same solution. Hearing how students arrive at solutions differently will deepen their understanding and broaden their problem-solving skills.
Geared toward middle and high schoolers, this website aims to reveal the real-life application of algebra through combining video and web interactivity.
Teachers can switch up their algebra lessons and show their students short videos about how young professionals use math in music, fashion, video games, restaurants, basketball, and special effects.
At the end of each video, the featured individual will pose a challenge to two teams of students. But the creators of Get the Math highly encourage classes to try and complete the challenges by applying the same algebraic concepts.

Despite this website’s dated appearance, the math resource that started on April 19, 2000 still gets updated today! Math is Fun is a simple yet fun resource to help engage students while learning math.
The content covers topics including data, geometry, numbers, money, algebra, calculus, physics, and measurement. In addition to exercises, teachers can also direct their students to the game, puzzle, and activity sections of the website.
For the teachers who are in need of inspiration, there is a Teacher’s Page with ideas to help get their creative juices flowing. They’ll find tools such as symmetry artist, tessellation artist, function grapher, math puzzles, and more.
Dating back to 1999 and created by Utah State University, this is a digital library of web-based interactive tools teachers can use to help teach math concepts from Pre-K to 12th grade.
Teachers and students alike find the most success when using these tools combined with in-class lessons, homework, or traditional practice.
It’s important to note that tech-savvy students may comment on this website’s datedness. As Common Sense states: “Students who struggle with difficult math concepts may like the trial-and-error format, but the vintage design and unclear feedback may scare some away.”
Rob and Jeremy of Math Plus Motion create all the content on this website. The goal of Math Antics is to make learning math a little easier for everyone through simple yet engaging math resources.
The math videos you’ll find are not categorized by grade but by topic. However, the majority of content they cover falls between U.S. 3rd and 8th grade.
All of their video lessons covering topics -- arithmetic, fractions, geometry, percents, and algebra -- are free!
