In addition there are a lot of author’s developments on the field of math, such as funny games, schemes and pictures which give a lot of creative ideas on this field. Â Site is easy to navigate despite it contains a lot of different information for different users. Among week points of the website I would name its color theme. In the beginning bright colors seem attractive and catch visitors’ attention. Especially they are interesting for small visitors.
Unfortunately after some time eyes get tired of such bright colors and it becomes difficult to use it. In addition black background also makes the perception of information somewhat difficult. Despite these small demerits I still think that coolmath.com is a good resource on math which can be useful for teachers, students and their parents.
