In fall of 1994 the Geometry Forum (now the Math Forum) discovered a dormant project called "Ask Prof. Maths," where K-12 students could send in math questions and get personal answers. We decided to revive the program, using Swarthmore College math students as 'Math Doctors' - we called them the 'Swat Team' - students who loved to answer questions from other students. Students submit questions to Dr. Math by filling out our Web form. Answers are sent back by e-mail, and we then gather the best questions and answers into a searchable archive organized by grade level (elementary, middle school, high school) and topic (exponents, infinity, polynomials, etc.). We recommend using the Dr. Math searcher to find what you want (try keywords like fibonacci, fractal, or proof), and investigating the Dr. Math FAQ (topics include prime numbers, pi, the golden ratio, Pascal's triangle).

The main concern is preparing items that stimulate class discussions. Steve Conrad, Dan Flegler, and Adam Raichel have primary authorship responsibility. Steve Conrad was problem editor of The Mathematics Student, an official journal of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. He has served on the College Board's Mathematics SAT II Test Development Committee and has spoken at numerous NCTM National and regional conventions. Adam Raichel is a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard University’s Law School. Our consultants include Michael Selby (retired) of the University of Windsor, Ontario; Paul Campbell of Beloit College, Beloit, WI; Martin Badoian, former math coordinator for Canton, MA; Dick Gibbs (retired) of Ft. Lewis College, Durango, CO. Dan Flegler, winner of Princeton University’s Distinguished Teaching award is the former math coordinator for Waldwick, N.J. Mr. Badoian, Mr. Flegler, and Mr. Conrad have each received Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics Teaching from President Reagan. Mr. Conrad received an award from the Mathematical Association of America for Distinguished High School Teaching. Prof. Campbell is an editor of Mathematics Magazine and the UMAP Journal, official journals of the Mathematical Association of America. Prof. Gibbs has been a problem editor of School Science and Mathematics and chairman of the AHSME contest committee. Mr. Flegler is a former associate editor of the New Jersey Mathematics Teacher. Mr. Badoian was an official of Mathcounts.

AAA Math features a comprehensive set of interactive arithmetic lessons. There is no cost or registration required to practice your math on the AAAMath.com site. Unlimited practice is available on each topic which allows thorough mastery of the concepts.

A wide range of lessons (Kindergarten through Eighth grade level) enables learning or review to occur at each individual's current level. Immediate feedback prevents practicing and learning incorrect methods, which is a common result of traditional homework and worksheets. Practice can continue as long as desired in a non-threatening format which helps build self-esteem and confidence. Please feel free to try the lessons by clicking on one of the grades at the top or a topic area on the left side of the page. Remember to add the site to your Favorite Places and please tell others about the site. It is an excellent way to learn or review math.
