Resource:Aunty Math
Provider:DuPage Children's Museum of Illinois
Summary:On this delightful website, Aunty Math ("Aunt Mathilda Mathews," retired elementary math teacher and assistant math education professor in Illinois) poses attractively illustrated math challenges for children couched in fun stories about her nieces and nephews.
Description:Each daily challenge has three levels (Easy, Regular, Hard). Try the problems and send in your solutions! Past challenges and their solutions are also available. Parents and teachers can view hints for solving the day's challenge, get extension activities and presentation ideas, and see a detailed correspondence between the challenge and the NCTM math standards! There is also a section on adapting the challenges for different learners. Challenges past and present can also be printed for offline and classroom use.

Note: Until recently, children could send in their solutions and receive personal replies. But it looks like now parents and teachers are being encouraged to protect the children's privacy by sending in the solutions that the children come up with, instead of having the children send them in directly.
