A couple of months ago I created http://www.artofmath.com which was a huge success (by my standards). Since then I have continued developing different math tests to help kids learn and have fun.

Please review my newest site and let me know what you think. I am planning on including something fun for the kids once they have finished the test, but I haven't decided exactly what to add. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

I love this site. Its very well designed & I love the Crayola graphics. They could do with being a slightly higer res as there a bit grainy. Other than that, the sites spot on! I say it all the time though, I hate advertisments. So get rid of that advertising down the left hand side. ( its a funny a maths site for kids has adverts for credit cards! )
Cheep web hosting is a plenty so theres no excuse to advertise for other people on your site. If this is a way to increase your pageranking in google or whatever, there are much better & more efficient ways fo doing this.

Other than that, absolutley excellent!
You did do it yourself I take it ???? Soz

mfdc - yes I did build this myself. I agree with the advertising, but it pays for my web hosting. While reading the review, I believe you were looking at the old site though. The crayons are on artofmath.com, and the new URL is freemathtest.com

heebiejeebieclu - I appreciate the response. I assume people using this service would be taking math tests as a way to get better at math.

Yes, I suppose so but when the maths test are so BASIC. Are they aimed completely at children or are you using this site as a starting point for more complex forumulae? Also, what is the achievemental difference between the two sites?

I would love to increase the functionality to include harder math problems, but right now my son is 7 and he's the reason I have built these sites. I have automated all of his practice work from school and expanded on quite a bit of it. I don't have the practice lessons for higher grades and haven't spent much time looking for it online. Do you know of a place that offers more complex tests that I can review?

I don't know what the word "achievemental" means, but I'll guess you are looking for an explanation of how the sites are different. Art of Math uses cute little animations and provides a help section for the easier tests, but is limited to adding, subtracting, and multiplying. Free Math Test uses a more standard interface, requires less setup time to begin taking a test, and offers different kinds of math tests like comparisons, place values, and sequences.
